The mangaka obviously has his reasons for making Mutsuki similar to Kaneki. Having said that, I think Dayne Darielexplained it best. Both Kaneki and Mutsuki had abusive parents. Kaneki, though he rejected his mother idealogy of being the one who is hurt instead of hurting others, struggles with that way of thinking in his subconscious. Or at least he did. Mutsuki lashes out at anyone who threatens his existence. Kaneki can be labeled as an anti-hero. Mutsuki, on the other hand, is the polar opposite though I wouldn't call him an antagonist just yet.
