Yeah he came over as a coward in the beginning, but where do you draw the line between being a coward and letting yourself be tossed around with. I'd say the little things convinced me, being a coward isn't part of his character, although he awfully seemed like one at the start, like you said. But I intepret that submissiveness as an attitude to gain help, playing the victim card, looking for pity and sympathy from his surroundings. He needed people to get him back on his feet. He was at an all-time low at that point. He felt it was necessary to do everything that is asked from him, bc not doing that, might ruin his only way back to a normal life at that time.

simply he desired answers and help to get his normal life and for Kaneki, not being the agressive type, being submissive and nice is his way to conquer peoples heart for his own needs. And that's how he acts in situation that aren't dangerous, when he's faced with danger, he drowns in fear, but in the end bravery and courage are always more important and apparent, like when he saved Hide from Nishiki or when he saved Nishiki from the three ghouls harassing him. (A coward would just tell himself to keep walking.)

But i'll check out your sources, mate.
