LOVE COMICS: Aimee Steinberger's Japan Ai: A Tall Girl's Adventures in Japan

I read about Aimee's "Japan Ai" first in Haute Doll. Aimee writes a regular feature for HD.

JA is about Aimee's adventures in Japan. Sure, lots of people have done that. The twist is Aimee has drawn hers so adorably, and Aimee is six feet tall. As a gal who was considered "large" by Japanese standards because I was 5'7", size 12, 38C (in 1989) and difficult to fit in a rental costume, I was instantly curious, and then hooked.

Here's a ten-page preview at Publisher's Weekly:
