^I think there's enough to interpret a romantic air. Imo, I think the reason something like this is so debated is because there's a fine line between friendship and romance because they're both intimate. The illustrations Ishida makes are often pointed to as proof, but a lot of the times, they're pretty neutral imo. Like, I don't count images where Kaneki and Touka are just standing next to each other without even acknowledging each as objectively romantic. There are illustrations that are "more intimate than usual", but I wouldn't automatically umbrella every one that has Kaneki and Touka as having implications just because they have Kaneki and Touka. Only two-three illustrations have a strong enough romantic air imo and the rest are "up to interpretation".

Like I mentioned to WEEABXTCH, they have a strong friendship that has the potential to become romantic. Logically, there has to be something there to get that interpretation, so all that can be done right now is play the waiting game.
