Yeah, I'm having trouble telling if it's real or not because it's really well made but missing some subtleties. Like on one hand, it's following the general layout Ishida's been using for :re covers of using only head shots and abstract backgrounds. On the other hand, I think it's missing the border around the title, "Tokyo Ghoul" in English is using a bleeding effect that's never been used, white hair Kaneki doesn't make an appearance in this volume, and the image looks very "static". Ishida's covers are simple, but he always adds a little touch of symbolism and/or personality so that it's "not just a floating head."

Like, v1 has Sasaki reading a poem about a dragonfly that gets crushed out of jealousy, v2 has Touka holding an order pad showing that she's retained stability via still being a waitress at a café that functions as a "home", v3 has Seidou chewing on his blackened nail fingers as his pain is ongoing, v4 has Tsukiyama striking a pose as he's reestablished his pride, v5 has Eto strangling Sasaki while his kakugan looks "corrupted", and v6 has Furuta holding a color inverted apple which has been used as a symbol of forbidden knowledge and power.

...uuhhh...this is just a really long winded way of me trying to say that I think the v7 cover floating around is "too plain". ^_^; It's just Kaneki staring at the audience devoid of personality or props. If it turns out to be legit, it's unusually devoid of substance. It is very pretty either way though.
