Weekly Playboy is a Japanese men's magazine that has been published weekly since 1966. Despite the name, it is not a regional version of the more famous American Playboy. It was also published by Shueisha as Monthly Playboy, and ran from 1975 until its cancellation in January 2009. Although it is a very general magazine that has a little bit of everything (for example, columns, celebrity interviews, articles, comics and manga), like the American Playboy, it is considered an adult-only magazine because of the gallery of nude models.
