I'm always a little baffled by people equating ANY sort of romantic elements equaling Shojo. The sort of romantic elements we see in Tokyo Ghoul are not unusual for a Seinen series, which are aimed at an adult male audience.

IE: Young men that would be at the point in their lives where romance is a consideration. They'd be starting to think about finding a serious girlfriend, marriage and starting a family, and seeing people they know starting to settle down.

It's a very different flavor of romance than you see in Shojo, which is typically very romantic fantasy as opposed to.....simply including one aspect of life and human interactions. For a 20-something, relationships are part of life. And Seinen depicts that a lot, with characters dating or marrying or having intimate relationships.
