[With 4/30 update] #WhatAreYouTalkingAbout "No" Issue: Let's make it together, What Are You Talking About Home?

Two ZINEs have been published so far from #WhatAreYouTalkingAbout.

Issue "Na": TABBY'S COFFEE ROASTER Edition
Issue "N": What am I talking about? Edition

If so, you might be thinking:
Is the next one perhaps the "No" issue?

That's right.
The next one is the "No" issue.

I'll keep the introduction as short as possible.
Here are the main points.
