I've just been reading Eiichi Muraoka's chapter on Okada in "Last Year's Snow" and was delighted to discover that someone had translated Glasstama, for which she won the COM Newcomer's Award (the other work he mentions is, I think, in the second volume of ODESSEY). I can understand why her work is frequently described as poetic; her art is also beautiful, and you can see her heavy influences on the Year 24 group (it also reminds me, significantly, of Masaaki Yuasa's TV series Kaiba). Thank you so much for translating this; I don't know much about Okada beyond the detailed but rather sad Japanese Wikipedia entry on her and what Muraoka has to say about her (he calls her a genius, and I can see why), but her work is fascinating.
