I'm sorry about how specific my request is, but please help T^T

I'm looking for manga or anime with a male lead who doesn't easily show his true emotions and a female lead who cares for him.

Through the manga/anime the male has to face emotional struggle. It can be because of his past, death of someone, family issue, loneliness, trauma, anything.

I absolutely need at least a scene where she comforts him while he's vulnerable. It can be because he opens up to her, or she finds him while he cries by himself, or she forces him to breakdown by making him face his problems, etc.

I'd like the male character's internal stuggle to be a big part of the plot point or at least be a big concern for the female lead. Like she often wonders if he's alright, etc.

There can be romance or not. I prefer shoujo / josei, but I'm open to anything.

Examples of what I'm looking for:
Barairo My Honey
Tokyo Crazy Paradise
Skip Beat
Dengeki Daisy
Akatsuki no Yona (With Shin-ah)
Kamisama Hajimemashita
soredemo sekai wa utsukushii
haru no ride
Kodomo no omocha
Hiiro no kakera
Fruit Basket
Shinrei Tantei Yakumo

Sekine-kun no Koi fits what you're looking for.

Sekine-kun does indeed fit I already read the available chapters though.

Any other suggestions?

Toukyou Tarareba Musume
Cat Street in this one, everyone's hurting. But if I remember correctly, the female lead finds her peace first then helps/comforts the male lead.
Natsu no Zenjitsu I recommend reading this one only till the halfway point, unless you are okay with realistic relationships and the bittersweetness that comes with it.
Annarasumanara
Online - The Comic
Nowhere Boy
Shigeshoushi Not 100% sure with this one, but I'm pretty sure he only breaks down with the female lead.
Jumyou wo Kaitotte Moratta. Ichinen ni Tsuki, Ichimanen de.
Haru no Noroi
Jiujiu Not 100% sure about this one either.
Futsutsuka Mono no Ani Desu ga this one is about a pair of siblings.
Chumo Once Again

I'll come back if I remember any more~
