I meant it 2 ways:
- Having the content the way the author intended. It may not be possible if the Japanese publisher doesn't want to provide a different version than the original, which in that case I'm okay with receiving the same volumes as the Japanese audience.
Also, some authors keep the original files and they are never released to the public. Who knows if this could be the same case.
- The volumes are released with the same amount of content including the controversial and is is not removed or obscured from view.
Number two is most likely. On the author live streams is drawing process it doesn't equal what he turns into the publisher. On the off chance he draws the genital parts and sends that in that would mean the editorial Department actually dedraws the pubis and penis. I say that because there's no mosaic or light beams in the manga to my knowledge. I seen actual labia majoras in the live stream.
I mean it is possible there is actual manga that are not hentai that you do see lightsaber penises and smudge vaginas. Aka a girl on the shore but it's not a normal occurrence to draw the genitalia in non-hentai manga. Now if that artist could redraw certain parts if the publisher allows it since the publisher owns the actual printing rights. That was an extra in the Urotsukidoji Kickstarter but we never made it that high.
