New Book Documents the Culmination of a Life-Long Love |

Ai means "love" in Japanese, and Japan Ai: A Tall Girl's Adventures in Japan is both a travelogue and an illustrated ode to contemporary Japan. Author Aimee Steinberger's appreciation of Japanese pop culture runs deep: She's a fan of anime, manga, gothic Lolita culture, Japanese dolls and theater, and cosplay. She's also a successful animator whose career has included stints on Futurama and The Simpsons. (Plus, she was also quoted in "Doll Party," in the June 2007 issue of SB!)
