So, I've never requested much. I'm very against requests in general because you can just google your shit, but I have a pretty specific request that I'm not sure I can google.
Is there any series where a character(usually the mc) has a tragic event or past such as Kaneki(torture) and rather than not telling anyone, they openly explain what happened to someone but not in a sad way, more like a "gives you chills" sense. It's hard to explain, but I can go further if needed, it'll just sound edgy as hell.
I dunno about hate romance, it's more I'd prefer to avoid watching it. But yeah, Angel Beats could be implied here. Already saw it though. Heres an (outdated) MAL.
Well outside of books, no.
Anime/manga prefer to show that (as in what happens for Tokyo Ghoul).
Series that come to mind:
Berserk, Gantz, Vagabond, Eden: It's an Endless world maybe.
I don't know, a ton of characters have a "tragic past" but asking if they explain it without a flashback? That's more from the books.
The Blade Itself is a pretty good book for that.
Samurai Deeper Kyo, comes to mind. Barely any romance and even if there is it's like the main character is basically insulting the chick and the chick loves it, but yeah, he has a tragic past where people called him a demon and whatnot. However he doesn't get upset about it, he just..... wellll...... goes on a killing spree

"Endless Void."
In selector infected WIXOSS there is a tragic event concerning Akira Aoi (not the main character) that I liked a lot. The series itself is pretty entertaining as well.
