I used Take's age to estimate how long the timeskip between TG and :re is. The estimate I derived from this and some other facts was that :re takes place in spring of year 4. Then Ishida comes along and tells us that Saiko just turned 20 and that she's born in September.

At that moment, I was confused to no end. It made no sense.

I still don't understand why there are so many bare trees in the first chapter of :re. Maybe 2 months went by since the start of :re, but now we're in September or later. There are no bare trees in May-August in Tokyo, so I've no idea why Ishida drew bare trees in the first chapter. Did the trees get the flu or what? (I'll have to check if he fixed that in the volume.)

BTW, Sasaki/Kaneki is really 21 years old. He's just listed as 22 years old because of his fake birthday.
