Canon in Tokyo Ghoul anime mainly includes the events and characters directly adapted from Sui Ishida's manga. The anime diverges in some parts, especially in Tokyo Ghoul √A, but the core storyline about Kaneki's transformation, struggles, and the main events remain true to the original manga.
From my experience binge-watching the whole series, most of the first season aligns well with the manga. The deviations start popping up in Tokyo Ghoul √A, so take that with a grain of salt.
