◆ "Glass Ball" 　　Author: Fumiko Okada 　　Publication Date: June 20, 1978, 2nd printing 　This is an old work from 48 years ago, 　so some age-related deterioration is unavoidable. 　Considering its age, I believe it is generally in good condition, 　but there is yellowing on the first and last pages (images 14 and 15). 　The afterword is written by Moto Hagio. 　When asked why Okada, who changes her art style with each work, 　does so, she reportedly replied that she gets bored after drawing one piece. 　A strange, eccentric, yet clear answer. 　She was praised as a genius and an artist. 　Fumiko Okada, who was called a "genius manga artist" 　from the late 1960s to the early 1970s. 　Her work "Glass Ball" won the COM Newcomer Award when she was in her third year of high school. 　For those who are looking for it. 　For those who understand the nature of used books.
