Best store to buy NSFW manga?

I found myself buying more manga online lately. A big chunk of what I buy are BL books. There are obviously sex scenes and what I bought so far is always so heavily censored that when I'm in doubt whether to buy or not I just don't buy it.
I'm fine with a somewhat "standard" sensor that's present in the books (it varies but I'm talking about white/black strip(s)), but horrendous white glowing sabers or even wors a whole splash of white over a genital area is a bit too distracting for me.

Bottom line, I'm searching for the best store to buy manga not safe for work, aka with very low censor. It must be a site that sales a lot of manga from publishers, not self-published/doujin stuff.
It would be great to have good image quality (no awfully compressed jpg; but that's a rarity in japan :/) and if miraculously there's an option to download once bought that would be perfect.

My go-to site so far was ebookjapan but it's getting worse by the day so I'm searching new options. Oh and please let me know if there's a way to verify the difference in censor from sample pages compared to actually bought version.

Wasn't even aware store specific censoring was a thing, I kinda assumed it was done by the publisher.

You're looking strictly for digital? Then you can try Google Play, and Barnes and Noble for English. CD Japan has Japanese manga.

What I always do is check the scans on Exhentai first before buying.
https://exhentai.org/

Afterwards I will usually get from Toranoana. Both the physical sample and electronic samples in Tora no Ana are true to what is inside for the censoring.
Recently I discovered that Amazon.jp.co also does have hentai listed.
https://ec.toranoana.jp/joshi_r/ec/
https://www.amazon.co.jp/s?k=bl&__mk_ja_JP=%E3%82%AB%E3%82%BF%E3%82%AB%E3%83%8A&ref=nb_sb_noss_2

My physical hentai collection is worth thousands and I have bought them online, in Japan, and by going to Comiket. So it is not as if I rip off my favourite authors by browsing raws/scans first.

Oh, wow, some replies :O

@kaza_hesto: it varies, sometimes it is, sometimes it's store specific. But I haven't figured out the pattern when which case happens.

@Samhill: Yeah atm I'm looking strictly for digital since I can't handle more of physical stuff and for a few titles I'm only interested in reading them once. Thanks for suggestions but I'm only interested in buying Japanese published manga (since I can read it - i'd be interested in the translation of only CN,KR&co manga but none has interested enough so far).

@mireaderc: I'm asking for the case when scans are not available. Or even when the digital version is the only one available. It's good to know that Toranoana posts samples as they are but their selection of publisher own content is small... I know it's growing so maybe it's worth for me to look at it again.

Still it would be nice to have some comparison. A couple of years ago authors posted on their own sites examples of how their works are censored differently on different platforms so it was easy to choose where to do the purchase, I don't see that happening anymore D:

Bookwalker is definitely worst choice possible. If you aren't interested in "lightsaber" type of censoring 😎
