The 'infamous' sex scene was used as a means of two people comforting each other over the loss of their human best friends. In no way can Touka ever replace Hide in Kaneki's heart. That being said, was it excessive for a whole chapter to be dedicated to the act. I think it may have been a bit of overkill but maybe the mangaka did it in that fashion so that there was no question of what happened. I know that many are upset over this latest development. I myself don't ship TouKen because I've always felt that it is an unhealthy as well as an abusive relationship. Hitting someone is not an act of love and it sends that wrong the message that if someone beats you up, then that means that they love you. Hide, for being as mysterious as he is, never once raised a hand to Kaneki. He gave Kaneki his space and always looked out for him from a distance. He understood Kaneki so well. Having said that, I don't know if Ishida will bring Hide back to this current mess of a story. In a way, I hope he doesn't.
