The "I Want to be Comforted by this Voice!" Ranking 
Men in their 20s would want to be comforted by Touch's Asakura Minami when brokenhearted, whereas women in their 20s would like comfort from Chiaki Shinichi from Nodame Cantabile. When your heart is so crushed that you can't even down a mouthful of food, how do you recover? Binge drinking and getting into fights don't amount to anything, and even shutting yourself in your room won't make your heart any better. But what if a wonderful girl/guy were to gently comfort you? Perhaps you'd be back to normal in no time.
