^^ This is Seinen, realistic romance or already established serious relationships, is part of what gets it mature. I'm not waiting for the High-School romance you can find in every Shounen. A romance between two people who already have a hard enough life on their own, with their own goals, searching for ways to overcome the obstacles as best as they can, compromising as best as they can to succeed in each others goals to the best of their abilities. No certainties, giving and taking, losing but as minimal as possible. A romance so brittle that it could be shattered at any moment, either by one of them dying or a choice where you inevitably lose something.

That or along those lines, is a romance i'm looking for here. The dramatic background in each character is already present, now only a relationship needs to be established. I know it's not very realistic for it to take this twist, but that's my little selfish wish for Ishida to add to the series.

It's a Seinen that sells short, if the only focus is Kaneki's breakdowns and how he tries hard to overcome them one by one and fall back into to one not much later.
