Interesting little graphic novel about three friends going for a quick vacation in Japan. Interesting comments and observations about the society they find are given. This almost functions as an alternative travel guide for younger people. However, it is just a very brief glance, so not much depth is given. ( )

An autobiographical explosion of colour, comedy and adventure. Possibly one of the most accurate books about being a (very tall!) tourist in Japan.

The writing itself is sparse and small snipits are allocated alongside some (beautiful and endearing) doodles. It is like reading a diary, with all the good and funny bits left in, and all the rambling taken out. All the sweet juice is left over.

The places to visit are all varied and interesting, and the personal touches make the book feel more accessible. The locations are all listed in the back of the book, with a few handy (though sadly not detailed) maps of where Aimee's gang wandered.

This book is a delightful read for any anime/manga fan that is looking to go to Japan and is lost in the LONELY PLANET section. I read this book before going to Japan myself (and I was glad I did!), in fact, reading this book will make anyone who considers Japan too expensive, rethink their choice.

This book ooozes cuteness, sass and comedy. Five stars if you are an anime/manga fan, four stars for the rest. ( )

Aimee Major Steinberger does a great job of expressing her adventure in Japan via her cute AmeriManga drawing style. Many of the places she shares in Japan AI are places I wouldn't think would be possible to visit, such as a bath house or dressing up as a Geisha. This book makes me excited about traveling to Japan.

Lots of fun! It made me miss Kyoto and Japan. ( )

Steinberger tells about her travels in Japan, illustrating them with manga-style pictures, and keeping things interesting with a sense of humor. Really, a wonderfully sweet travel log. ( )
