I totally understand you but you should consider that this is what makes Kaneki such an interesting character. Like many manga protagonists he wants to protect all of his friends but at the same time he doesn't do it because he's a good person like other manga heroes. He does it because he doesn't want to be alone. Also, he lost his memories and doesn't want to remember because he's scared of his past. He doesn't care if there are people that miss him and prefers to live as Sasaki even if everything is just a lie. Protecting others and not wanting to remember anything are both selfish because he does them in order to save himself. But that's interesting. That's what makes him different than other manga protagonists. Who wants to read another story for an unrealistically selfless hero that only cares about protecting his nakama?
