Hmm...so this user is selling the same Urushihara cover that I bought a few weeks ago, and it looks exactly same as the one I got. So maybe it is legit after all:

Looked it up on the blog, and the censoring with hearts is the official image published and it was done through a magazine mail order, so I'd say it's pretty likely that it's legit. And if you got the paper I see in that sample shot, it's almost a sure thing; bootlegs rarely ever take the time to include the paper slip from what I've seen.
Yup same exact thing. Quite the double-edged sword: nice to know that I got a legitimate cover, not so cool that they did a lazy-ass censoring job.
Yeah, it sucks. I really hope my cover doesn't have a shitty censoring job on it. :(
Edit:
Looks like some shit hit the fan with Evening Call; just got an email from them in Japanese. Google translate didn't do the best job, but from what I gather:
- Something happened with Matsumoto, who has been their primary source of manufacturing these days, due to Seiren's tightening of censorship.
- They can't use Matsumoto anymore for whatever reason. The translation says future works will be suspended, so I'm not sure if that means entirely or just with Matsumoto.
- Seiren is mentioned, so I guess they're going back to pearl roika temporarily. I believe it mentions something along the lines of the current cover line up won't be affected so they won't have to make the images tamer, but future covers may be on the tamer side (as for whatever regulations Seiren has in place... I think it was mainly fluids, but I don't know.)
This is just what I gathered from a quick read through of the rough translation, so I could be wrong. Really hope nothing serious comes of it, though. Evening Call is definitely one of my few favorite circles and I'd hate to see something screw them over.
