History HoYay / TokyoGhoul

* Chapter 68 reveals why Kaneki wants to die in style. [[spoiler: He wants to die in the same way he perceived Hide as having done for him.]]

* Kaneki has HoYay and FoeYay moments with pretty much everyone.

* Seidou and Kaneki have their FoeYay initially after Seidou becomes a ghoul and they fight but then circumstances change and Seidou gives up his hostility and (although begrudgingly) agrees to follow Kaneki to a lab raid as he knows about rc suppressant since it was also used on him during his torture. He and Kaneki share a knowing look and he calls Seidou "Takizawa" after Seidou says he can call him whatever he wants. For some reason Kaneki feels like he can trust Seidou to help him. Takizawa agrees with Ayato that Kaneki doesn't have to fight with a powerful Amon as he has people waiting for him and fights in his place with Kurona.

* While FoeYay and messed up but no less homoerotic at times Yamori/Kaneki is this when Kaneki has a hallucination of being naked while Yamori climbs up his body and screaming that his body is his own. There's a theory that Yamori has tortured Kaneki in [[RapeAsDrama other ways]] and even if he didn't do that he violated Kaneki by putting a centipede in his ear, and when he's psychologically and physically torturing Kaneki he has NoSenseOfPersonalSpace around him. He wants to eat him (which is what some of the other ghouls who are infatuated with him initially wanted to do), grabs him by the ankle while saying he'll never let go, places his hand in Kaneki's hair, and says ever since he saw him he wanted to bring him to his torture room to "play" with him. The 2016 calendar has a picture where Kaneki is being tortured by Yamori who is standing behind him and omniously holding/caressing his throat while turning his face up to meet his. There's also a scene where he watches Kaneki with Banjou and other captives and licks his lips while looking at Kaneki. Not to mention the whole standing before a chained Kaneki while touching him when torturing him.
* Mixing with FoeYay, Kou a.k.a. Hajime Hazuki is a major Fan Boy of Kaneki to the point of incredible (or rather, unhealthy) attachment and obediently idolized him when being personally interrogated by Kaneki. Similarly to Roma, this is due to being left in awe regarding Kaneki's achievements as a one-eyed ghoul, except that he is more attracted to the strength Kaneki acquired throughout his life, instead of relishing in Kaneki enduring his Trauma Conga Line. He goes so far as to say that Kaneki is 'a miracle human'.

* Sasaki and Urie which also has the FoeYay aspect based on Urie's jealousy and harshness to him. After the Auction Raid, their relationship seems to have improved. Urie shows more trust in Sasaki's decisions and even comes to him to train. Even after he left the Q-squad, Sasaki still cares for Urie as the latter was the only one he met and personally requests him to save Mutsuki, while showing a kind smile.

** Two years later, he's shown to ''still'' be in mourning [[TheLostLenore over Kaneki]] and has become a bed-ridden IllBoy as a result. Chie attempts to cheer him up by obtaining a pair of Sasaki's underwear.

* Uta towards Urie in chapter 38. He seems like he's hitting on Urie and tells him his BeautyMark is sexy.

''Manga/TokyoGhoul'' has a fair amount present of HoYay, which the anime/novels/games/supplementary material only adds to.

*** The cover of that chapter features both sharing one body together and there are hints of them being NotSoDifferent and Furuta being Kaneki's EvilCounterpart.

* Not to mention the times he [[PervertedSniffing smells Kaneki's scent]] and comments on how wonderful it is or whispers in his ear while putting his hand on his shoulder. He thinks that someone as rare as Kaneki should be eaten only by him and won't allow anyone else to eat him. When he thinks his he had his head near Kaneki's to whisper in his ear but some fans said it looks close enough/angled like he was trying to kiss him.

* There's the {{Squick}}y relationship of trans man Mutsuki and Torso with Torso acting like a StalkerWithACrush to Mutsuki like Tsukiyama to Kaneki only to a much more sexual and dangerous degree with a heaping helping of InterplayOfSexAndViolence. He mentions how he masturbates while thinking of Mutsuki and he captures Mutsuki on Rushima Island, and declares that they're going to get married showing that he put a wedding ring on one of Mutsuki's fingers and dressed him in a white dress. He repeatedly tells him he loves him.

** Chapter 163 then confirms that [[spoiler:the lower half of Hide's face is a large hole that bares his teeth and the skin on his jaw, neck, and shoulder are heavily damaged, indicating that yes, Kaneki did indeed devour his mouth. Take what you will from that...]]

* Chapter 148 takes it even further when Amon asks him why does he go to such lengths for Kaneki's sake, Hide simply responds by saying that he loves him and that he doesn't really need another reason. While most likely meant platonic, {{Tumblr}} has been [[DeadpanSnarker instantly]] [[DamnedByFaintPraise mockingly]] [[StealthInsult declared]] [[YaoiFangirl the winner]] of this round by several fans.

* [[spoiler: Hide's return as Scarecrow in a later chapter of re fueled the fire even more as he can't speak so deals with this by writing down words for people to read. He requests Urie's strength and help and some fans assume he wants him to help him help Kaneki. And there's some fan theories that Hide can't speak and wears a mask because he had damage done to his face/throat. HideKane fans theorize it's a result of Kaneki possibly doing vore on him, giving him a deadly kiss involving biting his face/threat, etc. There's also the assumption that in the ghoul world marriage is the equivalent of biting and leaving marks on your beloved. Some fans theorize this means Kaneki and Hide are married as he most certainly fed on him.]]

* In chapter 124 of re: Kaneki makes a soulful speech about how whenever he thought about Hide he'd just be consumed by the desire to see him again. Touka [[spoiler: decides to jump him, pin him down, and kiss him. Fans are divided on whether she did this because she loves Kaneki and feels threatened by his strong feelings (platonic or otherwise) towards Hide.]]. Indeed in an earlier chapter of the first manga she threatened to kill Hide if he ever learned they're ghouls and some fans theorized that it seemed like a yandere line like she felt threatened by Hide and Kaneki's friendship as well as afraid of what would happen if any humans (Hide) whom she hates with a passion as they are enemies and have hurt her, were to find out about her and her fellow ghouls at Anteiku.

*** In the anime when Banjou and another ghoul come to clean up after one of Yamori's torture sessions with Kaneki he is very sympathetic towards a damaged Kaneki and vows he'll get him out of there and to not lose hope.
