Personally I don´t see why people seem to be in such a need to judge characters and put any kinds of labels such as "great", "horrible" and the like. Just about every in-depth-built character I see grabs my interest and makes me want to learn more about them and watch them grow.

Picking Tsukiyama Shuu for an example, I don´t really know what makes people obsessed with him, but I do find his changes somewhat endearing, for it to go from considering Kaneki the ultimate "gourmet food" to an actual sticking bond he´d not trade for anything. He is, however, still in the process of his own "change", and his perspectives have been rather lacking until he took the :re crew's to heart as he was seeing Kaneki/Sasaki's plight. He´s still working on his rather limited view on people this very moment(story-wise).

Touka is a character fundamental to the story, and following her growth has really put at least a hundred smiles on my face during my following of the story. Harostar already put up one summary of several points to her character, and while I could go on, I don´t want to make this wall of text any bigger right now. I am still eagerly awaiting seeing more of how she will grow, or how she has grown over the past years, and perhaps(most likely) help others grow as her mentor did before her. As I said, she is fundamental to the story, and most likely alongside Amon, she´ll be key setting Kaneki back on a path he can be actually comfortable with, and not just bringing his memories back which would only cause him more horror and mental damage if not done correctly, the last part which I doubt Tsukiyama could manage, on his own at least.
