Kimiko Does Cancer doesn't pull any punches and there are many aspects that are likely to connect with all sorts of different readers. She's so open about how she didn't connect to the sort of cancer programs and stories out there for all sorts of reasons - her age, her queerness, her race, her politics, and most importantly, her personality. There are so many complicating factors with cancer already, from the physical to the emotional, and Kimiko's story really shows how added factors only make the already frustrating and draining experience even more isolating.
I particularly liked how she went into how certain aspects of breast cancer messaging made her feel uncomfortable or disconnected. The feminization, the positivity, rather than being the welcoming and uplifting support intended, didn't connect to Kimiko, and it didn't quite match up with her politics either.

Keet Geniza's art only adds to the emotion of Kimiko's story with careful, clear images that match seamlessly with Kimiko's narration.
