I agree with that statement wholeheartedly. They are very a like, I've always thought so--which is why I'm not surprised when so many Syaoran fans will quickly say: "And I like Touya too!"

The big difference is I think Syaoran is even more helpless with girls than Touya. Having so many sisters I think puts him at a weird disadvantage, especially as they're all older and big on teasing. Syaoran is more awkward around girls in a way that is surprising for a guy so mature in other ways (you learn more and more how mature he really is, now he doesn't seem so much). Touya is rather suave without trying, which is probably why there could ever have been a Touya and a Kaho.

You've inspired me to re-read this, btw. I've just finished volume 3 yesterday! :3
