Shuu Tsukiyama
Within my little imaginings for the Tokyo Ghoul universe, Shuu is the same as he is is the anime/manga series (you know…a bit unhinged and obsessed with Ken, all that good stuff). Only difference is his relationship with my character Michelle. For several years they’ve had a very Will They Won’t They type of relationship.
Shuu very much cares for and just outright adores Michelle and has since they were kids and she was first brought to live within the Tsukiyama household. Unfortunately, due to her own conflicting feelings regarding him and how she ended up living with the Tsukiyama family, she pretty consistently pushes him away when he does show his deep affection for her.
They do eventually properly get together. Only takes Shuu going into a deep depression and bout of anorexia for Michelle to realize her feelings for him trump any other issues she has.
While Shuu is very much happy and in love with Michelle, he also has an unrequited love for Ken as well. There’s some amount of jealousy regarding Ken at first with Michelle, but eventually it becomes a bit of a long-standing joke between the couple about Ken being Shuu’s side piece (complete with Michelle referring to Shuu as “our boyfriend” or “our husband” when speaking with Ken).
