I agree with your point about Yuki/Kyo being two sides of the same coin (1 sides responce to truma being to retreat inwards to protect themselves resulting in a rather reserved & reflective state while the other's is to lash out to protect themselves resulting in a more unreserved but less willing to be reflective state) & about how this story couldn't exsist without both Tohru & Akito. Ooh looking forward to that Yuki anaylis & on how your top characters might change by the end of the story. My fravriote characters (I'll only list characters that have shown up in the anime so far & I won't go into why I like them so as not to spoil) in no particular order are: Tohru, Yuki, Kyo, Hana, Uo, Rin, Kazuma, Hatori, Momiji, Kisa, Haru, Machi & Kyoko (I love a lot of the other characters & know they add a lot to the overall story some more then a few of the characters I put on this list but these are just my personal fravriotes right now).
