YURI - YES, YES, THERE IS. First that comes to mind is she-wolf. http://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=10279 (I hate she-wolf, I LOVE LOVE LOVE the extra her though, that was cute in my opinion. Also no one dies although one of the stories is a bit pessimistic IIRC)
SHOUJO.
Pretty sure that Ōtani in Love Com is pretty much a nice guy with no tragic past (just a bit clueless and sometimes lacks tact when it comes to matter of love)
Love maniac - the first chapter has the jerkish girl (with the slightly tragic back story to excuse her behaviour) and the super nice, if slightly effeminate guy.
The second chapter is all about the jerkish guy and his love slave though. :(
KareKano - I think it's about a decade old, but the main male character has a tragic past and is a super nice guy.
I wish I could rec Oresama teacher for this list, which is a shoujo, reverse-harem series because I love the main character who is (apart from her occasional delusions into becoming a dainty lady), such a /shounen/ hero-isc type character and I like most of the love-interests, but uh the one who I think is maybe meant to be* the main love interest, is /such a jerk/. (although not to the same level as the example you gave.)
*It's my anti OTP for the series. :( I CAN GET BEHIND SHIPPING ANYONE/EVERYONE ELSE.
