Pretty much spot on. Though I DO think you're overstating whatever possible emotional angst/insecurities that Tohru might have. I just don't see Tohru's personality as a matter of him being extremely insecure. He's to...relaxed. He's just not pompous enough.

I'll be completely honest. If Ko by himself was the star of another kind of show, we'd all be talking about how refreshingly not wimpy he was relatively speaking.
I'll admit that the lack of strongly defined male characters IS kind of annoying. Perhaps because I'm less of a person to be concerned with how much I relate to the characters on a personal level, so much as how interesting I want them to be.
