| The one your scenario most reminds me of is Bitter virgin. Spoiler (mouse over to view) It's got everything you asked for, in terms of girl with traumatic past (rape) that leaves her broken and afraid of men. She leaves her old life with her estranged mother and friends and starts living on her own. Here she meets a boy and they start going out, however I haven't read the end so I'm not sure if the rest of it pans out the way you want it to
Haou airenSpoiler (mouse over to view) This fits in terms of the being broken as the series goes and then she attempts suicide, and they break up. Whilstthe ending is tragic, its not in the way you had it
Wolf guy-wolfen crestSpoiler (mouse over to view) Most of the time in the manga it centres around 2 people that are loners, and whilst the woman is semi broken from past experiences she manages to keep it together for the most part of the manga. However a certain event (its extremely graphic btw, just a warning) makes her even more broken and ends in one of the scenarios you asked for
Fallen angels Spoiler (mouse over to view) The main character is broken because of a past event involving a friend and though she does get a couple of guys trying to coax her back to her old upbeat self she generally lives like a loner. The manga isn't complete so I'm not sure what direction its going to go, but at the moment there's a possibillity she'll be killed for her past mistake
Love in the maskSpoiler (mouse over to view) Most of the time the lead character lives, not as a loner, but alone in herself because she has to be a bodyguard to a rich madam. She falls in love with a guy and he changes her but due to her circumstances they have to be apart and she falls in love with another guy in the interval, but towards the end the twists and turns end with her forgetting a lot of what happened, broken in a sense and living without her original love
