I've had a quick look at CMX's release of volume 15.
The sticker on the cover "Parental advisory - explicit content", and the rating on the back of M mature (up from T+ teen plus) gave me hopes that CMX had decided to stop censorship. Unfortunately after looking at the book, I get the feeling that they rated this one M merely because it would have been too hard to censor this book down to T+. There is a bit of (presumably temporary) good news, and that is that for this volume nipples were allowed to remain in non-sexual scenes (but were still censored out in sexual scenes).
The graphic edits which I found are as follows:
p61 panel 4, hair added to cover crotch
p63 panel 1, text moved to cover nipples, form of nipple under shirt deleted, hazy lines at crotch deleted
p71 panel 1, crotch and pubic hair deleted
p72 panel 2, panel enlarged and cropped to delete breasts, torso and spread legs of the woman under the man
p75 panel 1, nipple deleted, speech bubble moved to cover other nipple
p75 panel 3, penis deleted from image of hand and mouth (leaving image rather meaningless, depending on your imagination)
p75 panel 4, panel entirely deleted (of naked woman performing oral sex, with "camera" angle from behind the woman showing crotch, public hair, breasts, head, hand etc) - as a result, this part of the page is just blank white
p76 panel 4, woman's spread legs and man's hand deleted
p76 panel 6, woman's leg and man's hand deleted
p80 panel 1, hair added to cover crotch
p82 panel 3, speech bubble to cover buttocks and hand of woman getting on top of man
p99 panel 4, tentacle in girl's mouth changed so that it's now pass over girl's face, tentacle over girl's legs deleted, nipples deleted
p107 panel 1, nipples deleted
p110 panel 4, crotch deleted
p128 panel 4, panties added (did 16th century Japanese women wear 20th century Western style panties?)
p140 panel 4, spread legs of woman deleted, nipple deleted, speech bubble moved to cover other nipple, crotch and line of leg of second woman deleted (which changes what used to be image of buttocks and legs of a woman into a meaningless shape)
p141 panel 1, legs of woman deleted, pubic hair of second woman deleted
p142 panel 2, panties added
p143 panel 1, restraining belt added to cover breasts, restraining belt added to cover crotch, restraining bars added to cover breasts, panties added, panties added, panties added, panties added, panties added, panties added, panties added, panties added
p147 panel 1, hair added to cover crotch
p148 panel 1, crotch deleted
p167 panel 2, more shadow added to crotch area, arm and hand moved to cover crotch and pubic hair of second woman
There are edits of the dialogue as well, but I haven't had time to go through those (nor those for previous volumes - way behind). For example, at page 128, the reference to a girl being 9 years old was deleted and changed to her just being young.
