For the record Ishida has drawn for magazine covers several times and they almost all feature Kaneki prominently. He only ever did a cover that didn't have Kaneki on it once and it featured Touka, the most popular character in the Japanese polls. Other covers that feature TG use preexisting art/art that was intended for something else but follow the same pattern. The only other magazine cover that didn't feature Kaneki was one that was promoting Jail by using Jail's box art. So there's only ever been two magazine covers that either didn't have Kaneki or he wasn't the main focus: the one that had the fan favorite Touka and the one using Jail's box art focusing on Rio because he was the main character of that game.

The figure in this image doesn't look that much like Mutsuki all things considering. Mutsuki has dark skin, a right kakugan, green eyes (or they're drawn really dark), and the clothes and persona don't fit. This figure has light skin, a red glint in the left eye indicating a kakugan, grey eyes, and is giving the audience a stern glare as they judge everyone silently.

TL;DR It's Kaneki. It doesn't make sense for it to be Mutsuki for several reasons.
