KIYAMA IS FRANK in revealing his flaws and those of his friends--their skirt-chasing, gambling and carousing, their lazing around between jobs.
Kiyama brings up some bits of history that Euro-Americans would love to forget, such as anti-immigrant and segregation laws passed in California that were so blatant that Theodore Roosevelt himself had to intervene to pacify the Japanese government.

From the early days of Japanese American manga — when Kiyama’s immigrant friends explored the California countryside hauling squash and contending with bigotry — through Kawaguchi’s re-creation of American politics, the exhibit truly explores the Japanese American collective identity.

But this is really a family saga, covering quite a lot of ground and years in style so intimate and low-key that it is almost self-effacing.
"Forty years before the birth of the underground and alternative comix, Henry Kiyama was experimenting in comic strip form with comics as autobiography, comics as personal statement, comics as sociology, anthropology, and political science, not to mention comics as a comment on racial and class attitudes and antagonism.
In a time when traditional comics didn't dare venture into this territory, Kiyama covers it as a mater of course, as if his strip is no more or less than his bemused comic diary.
