Something where the main character's desires become reality, but turn tragic.

Mainstream:
Fullmetal Alchemist
D-Grayman
xxxHolic
Monster (highly recommended)
Not mainstream and kinda fits:
Hotman
Hyakki Yakoushou
Present
Skyhigh
Brigit's Supper(kinda)
Bradherley's Coach (definitely fits, but extremely disturbing)
Fetish
Yubikiri Hime
I know that these are kind of a stretch sometimes or, in better terms, subtle, but I'm just throwing stuff against the wall to see what sticks. If you post some titles that you like that fit or make your reading lists public, it'll be easier to suggest things.

Seijou Kouchakan no Jijou - He likes a girl. She eventually likes him but it's achieved in a very twisted way.

I second FMA and Monster.
Maybe can add Chrno Crusade (she's looking for her brother, then...) and to a limited extend Vampire Juujikai.
What I like in Trivial Pursuit style. Pick your category:[img]http://i379.photobucket.com/albums/oo233/Reid4891/Manga/trivia-1.jpg[/img]

Oh my God, I went to tvtropes to look up something to reply to this topic, and that was three hours ago. 🤢
Anyway. Pet Shop of Horrors lives and breathes this idea.

20th Century Boys -- childhood fantasy turned into a terrorist plot
Cool Lady -- sort of 🤣
Nana -- romance destroyed by fame and fortune
Reverie of the Red Shoes -- haven't read it, but it sounds like it fits
Solanin -- the exciting life that wasn't so much better than the ordinary one
Vagabond -- strength gained for the price of one's soul
