Ishida mentioned in zakki how a manga-ka and editor work together and had been asked to redue rejected drafts. At some point he felt that he needed to speak with his editor about having more freedom.

When you attain a job that requires an editor, the editor working along side the creative process is part of the job. It's not a matter of having "proof", that just comes with the territory of publishing professionally. It's a collaborative effort (including assistants as well). An editor's job is, aside from making corrections, to sell a product because manga making is a business. Like any other business, there will be adherence to what is perceived the audience might want.

The speculation really doesn't lay in whether or not Ishida faces editorial influence (he does), but what that influence is affecting specifically. Perhaps we'll know when the series concludes.
