Okawa is best known for his four-panel digital manga series, Pop Team Epic. Following the surreal lives of 14-year-old girls Popuko and Pipimi, the series gained popularity for its bizarre humor and pop culture parodies.
It was also adapted into a TV anime series whose first season ran from January to March 2018. Season 2 is set to premiere in October 2022.
