How do stamps work? Why is that OK not reversed? Is it a different word in Japanese?

I have no idea but if I had to guess, I would figure it's actually just the English "OK" rendered exactly how it normally looks in English, functioning less as a word and more as a sort of international symbol. I'm probably wrong though.
Anyway this is cute, although the blond girl has this weird didn't-get-enough-sleep-possibly-crazy vibe about her because of the way her eyes are drawn.

I think "Stamps" are just... what we call "emoji" lately (not the unicode ones, though)? ...Is this like us calling it "sudoku" and Japan calling them "nanpure" (i.e. "number place", the erstwhile English name for the game) all over again?

Actually, a quick google indicates that stamps are specifically a Line thing, you have to buy them to use them. Wow, that's this much of a thing? Humans are weird.

As for OK, "OK" rendered as "OK" is as Purple Library Guy said, accepted as-is in Japanese (at least informally) as it is in many languages; see for instance https://jisho.org/search/OK (note in particular that the roman-character rendering of OK is listed as a "common word" which is pretty unusual)
