Hi!Your meta are always accurate and full of information, so I'd like to thank you for your work! I love the passion and the effort you put into this blog. Can you tell me something more about hanbee's way of speaking? I find it really interesting!

Thank you very much! Hanbee uses keigo most of the time when he talks, even if he talks to ghouls. 

Keigo is a special very polite form of Japanese, and let me tell you, not a lot of characters in TG use it. For Japanese people IRL keigo is often considered a hassle and nobody I know actually likes it, much less use it all the time. The normal polite form is acceptable in most situations. Seriously, there are a lot of people who can’t even use keigo correctly (people like me, tbh). The thing about keigo is that it’s seen as inherently deferential, which informs where you’re most likely to hear it (from salespeople, on TV and radio etc).

Hanbee uses keigo when he addresses Suzuya, strangers (like Kurona), people he isn’t close to (like Kaneki).  Although sometimes he’d go down a notch and use normal polite speech (and I’d be like, “why is he so casual all of a sudden”). The only time I recall seeing Hanbee use informal speech when talking to other people is when he was writing a card to Mizurou in the calendar.

He also often talks about himself in the third person! Which is something children and young women do. His manner of speech has a certain softness to it because of the keigo and the fact that he consistently uses “watashi” even in informal speech or when thinking. Hanbee also uses archaic or old-fashioned words and forms a lot.

Oh, and the last thing that comes to mind is that Hanbee would sometimes phrase things like they’re newspaper headlines. I swear I can just see the capital letters. He does it by removing all particles and the like from a phrase. Remember that “forced ignorance” line from the latest chapter? It means “Ignore her!”, but reads sort of like “Local Man Forcibly Ignores Woman”. It’s a bit hard to explain.

Toph: Babe.

Toph: I'm the lucky one here. From the second I set eyes on you, I knew you were the one. Your smile is all I need. When things get rough or we get stuck, I know that everything will be okay as long as I've got your smile by my side. You're my best friend and my baby girl. I should be thanking you daily.

Toph: I'm on my way, have to make a quick stop though.
