I honestly don't see how he is being interpreted as a "friend" to Kaneki. Kaneki knows he's strong and he's going to use that strength. It's better to have someone like that actively fighting for you than against you, although he's still against Kaneki. You know, with the whole literally trying to eat him thing.

Sorry, but Shuu is just a creep. I'd like to see Kaneki dispose of him once he's used him up, TBQH. Shuu keeps that handkerchief with Kaneki's blood on it, keeps having fantasies on how he will eat Kaneki, how to improve his "feast," he just sees Kaneki as his most glorious meal and is trying to make the most magnificent "feast" out of him he can, because Shuu is incredibly eccentric. That's one of his biggest character traits. He's not putting off eating Kaneki because they're friends, he's putting it off because he needs the perfect setting. Just like when he planned to eat Kaneki while Kaneki ate Nishiki's girlfriend. It has to be spectacular or it'll be ruined. Shuu doesn't think of himself as some low-life, animalistic street ghoul. He needs something grand to suit him.

I don't care if people ship them, but I can't stand when they try to make it seem like Shuu actually canonically cares for Kaneki in any sort of romantic way. If I could have things my way, a polyship with Hide/Kaneki/Touka would be a dream, but polyamory is still considered taboo (plus maybe perhaps Hide is dead which would make me sad but I seriously hope he isn't). . .  Japan still has major societal issues with gender roles, so getting a legitimate poly relationship from them that's actually something published probably won't happen for a long time.
