Im sorry, I dont see Hide as a mysterious guy at all. I never thought of him as an interesting character either. He was just the one human friend Kaneki had, at least in my book.

Of course he is important for Kaneki but I dont think thats reason enough to keep him alive. His death would fit the same purpose as him turning out to be alive. It would be just a great suprise for Kaneki.

And I dont think its confirmed that he got that book from Hide. It could have been anyone who knows about his love for Sen Takatsuki.

I dont say its unlikely that he is alive. I just wish he wasnt. Admit it or not, Tokyo ghould really lacks death. Killing of a bunch of tertiary characters doesnt make a story dramatic and exciting. As I said there are already far too many persons who should have died and just didnt because Ishida wanted to throw them in everyones face later. Making everyone special (like creating a ton of one eyed ghouls) just means that noone is special anymore. It gets boring if its overused.
