^To be fair, Kaneki was kind of supposed to look that way. In the first half of the series anyway. It was mentioned a couple of times that Kaneki looked young for his age and he suffered years of malnutrition at his aunt's house. He still looked awkwardly slender though after the Aogiri Arc, even though he was supposed to have beefed up, I admit.

@OP

It's a mixture of it being improved and tweaked imo. His artwork looks a bit cleaner, but the art also doesn't look as...how should I put it? "Gritty"? Anymore. I don't know how to explain it, but the art in the earlier part of the series fit the tone. It had sort of a "urban gothic horror" feel to it, but that aspect has pretty much been dropped from the series, so it feels like the art was changed to reflect that.
