For some reason lately, I've been feeling strangely bitter. I'll start reading a manga with a beautiful romance and I know I would love the happy ending any other week or so but now I just want the female main lead to die, and I would like it so that it was the male lead's direct or indirect doing. Now, I don't want it where the guy doesn't really love her or anything but where he [i]is[i] in love with her but was somehow forced into doing her harm, ultimately resulting in her death. The main characters should not be dislikable, I want to feel as much pain as the male protagonists when she dies. I have examples of mangas where I've wanted the female lead to die not because I hate her or anything but because, well, I want to see the male lead in pain.

Recently I was re-reading Kamisama Hajimemashita and while before I loved the romance bewteen them, I enjoyed the scenes where the chick lead was in danger and Tomoe would be all worried, but I would have enjoyed it more had she died lol. Of course I don't think those incidents were Tomoe's fault but it made him aware of how fragile her existence was compared to his.

Superior - I read that a while ago so I haven't read the recent chapters but I in my mind I was hoping that the ending would go something like this. The demon chick and the hero are in love but due to the burden of his duty the hero slays her, even though it breaks his heart to do so... Though I doubt that it will end that way *sigh* -_-

I just read Migawari Hakushaku no Bouken and

I doubt there are many, if at all any, mangas like this but I figured it's worth a shot to find out.

Please and thank you!

Romeo x Juliet Only thing I can think of.
And you know it's tragic because it's based on Romeo and Juliet. o.o

Elfen Lied - although I wouldn't recommend this on its own merits.

On the other hand, if you wouldn't mind a series with a secondary character who fits this role, then I highly recommend Not Simple. Although it certainly doesn't qualify as "a beautiful romance," the character is quite shaken by the consequences of his actions.

you want the female lead to die and it's all his fault right?
perfect for you: FLOWERS OF EVIL
but! It's complete psycho, i just read it like just before i saw this thread and I said "wow! great timing "

Replay - she dies and indirectly it's his fault;
Renri no Eda - not his fault, but she still dies;
Canon - she almost dies a couple of times violently, and it's his fault;
Half and Half - not his fault, although she might have lived longer if it wasn't for the guy, anyway just try it;
