If it's not either of jormis's suggestions, you could check the Doom Magnet or The Jinx pages and see if any of the examples there ring a bell!

xxxHolic is a guess, but maybe “another”?
I think it is most likely an anime, based on what I normally watch.
A female character that attracts death, so that anyone near them dies. Pretty typical trope. I really can't remember much else aside from the MC promising he'd stay with her and not die. I'm sure it has been done multiple times, but I really can't remember much at all, and I don't expect anyone to just list off every example of it, but if anyone has ideas that would be great!
