I'm guessing Ishida is literally keeping us in the shadow regarding her for one of two reasons:

1. She will get screen time around chapter 80, to parallel her first appearance in the manga.

2. She has the most personal ties to OEGs. Mother killed by Eto. Kaneki/Haise, a Kanou experiment, under her care, as well as the Quinx in a way. Takizawa and Amon, also Kanou's experiments, and for something she might even blame herself: she couldn't leave her duty to go find them (in a way, that's why her mother died as well). Then, though not a OEG, there's also the inevitable reunion with Hinami. There are lots of things that have to happen to her character and I can't imagine they won't be painful.

Either way, the fact that her appearances have been so abnormally reduced in :RE makes me think we might get at least a few chapters to Akira/Amon/Takizawa. Or so I hope.
