Galgrease

Galgrease is the collected name of several erotic manga and poster books by manga artist Masamune Shirow. The name comes from the fact that the women depicted often look "greased". The nature of these "poster books" as they are known in North America are very erotic or "ecchi".

The first series of Galgrease booklets included four issues each in the following settings:
*Wild Wet West (Wild West-themed)
*Hellhound (Horror-themed)
*Galhound (Near-future sci-fi-themed)

The second series included another run of 12 booklets in the following worlds:
*Wild Wet Quest (A Tomb Raider or Indiana Jones-style sequel to Wild Wet West)
*Hellcat (Pirate-themed)
*Galhound 2 (Near-future sci-fi-themed)

After each regular series, there were one or more bonus poster books that revisited the existing characters and settings.
