The Four Immigrants Manga: A Japanese Experience in San Francisco, 1904-1924

Originally published in Japanese in San Francisco in 1931, The Four Immigrants Manga is Henry Kiyama's visual chronicle of his immigrant experiences in the United States. Drawn in a classic gag-strip comic-book style, this heartfelt tale - rediscovered and translated by manga expert Frederik L. Schodt - is a fascinating, entertaining depiction of early Asian American struggles.
