Making the 'Ha' Issue of the 'What Are You Talking About?' ZINE

To everyone (especially those living in the Kansai region)

Have you seen this article?

The 'What Are You Talking About?' Festival will be held in Osaka 🥳

We've rented a large venue, but just in case too many people show up and cause a disturbance to the neighborhood, we've already prepared apology sweets.

※It seems the first batch has already sold out. Wonderful✨️

So, please feel free to come and crowd the place😆
It's a chance to meet the mysterious people who usually hang out in the back alleys, haha.

The exhibition content is truly packed and full of charm. Please save up your pocket money for this day, spend generously, and give back to all the creators.

And, there was an announcement about a crowdfunding campaign, and I think there was a part in it that caught your attention (it certainly caught mine)!

That's right.

The 'What Are You Talking About?' ZINE, Issue 'Ha'

What are you talking about, making that?

You might have literally said 'Huh?', but this is a ZINE collection of tissue paper art works👏👏👏

Huh?

I'll say it again because it's important.

Issue 'Ha' is a collection of tissue calligraphy works.

That's right. It's time for the master to step in.
The day has come for everyone's tissue calligraphy to become a book.

Since it's impossible to include all 300+ existing works, I hope you'll forgive me for selecting them, butI plan to make a dream-like book packed with your works that convey the charm of tissue calligraphy.

In addition to the works, we also plan to include an interview article with a senior from Kyoto University (now a director at a certain company) on the theme of 'My junior became a master, what do you think?', as well as newly written essays by 1st-grade certified members (Kanna-san, Sako-san) titled 'Tissue and Me'. 😂

Of course, if the crowdfunding doesn't reach its goal, Issue 'Ha' will not be completed.

What are you talking about?

According to the master's plan, this will be completed in time for the event, andit is scheduled to be distributed at the Creative Awards ceremony.

It's a perfect schedule. Yeah, even I'm scared. I can already see the glorious path of tissues 🥹

Huh?

So, while the timeline is clear, a problem has arisen now that I've actually started working on the ZINE.

I made the cover and sent it to my assistant, Mosueri, asking, 'What do you think? (It's pretty good, right?)' to which I received a harsh reply: '(Wow, you have no sense.) Do you have a designer in mind?'

I bought design books and even paid for a subscription to GPT-ko, thinking I was fully prepared, but it was no good after all. If I keep going like this, I'm going to kill the quality of the work 😭

Yes, what we need right now is your design sense!!

So, if you can design, I'm waiting to hear from you.

This is an urgent matter. We have to start moving now or we won't make it in time. If you think you're the one for the job, please help me😂

In short, I'm looking for someone to work alongside the instructor to get things into a format that I can hand to Editor-in-Chief Sunou and say, 'Please print this'!!

For the future of Tissue Characters, and for the future of 'What Are We Talking About', please lend us your strength.

By the way, there is no end to Tissue Characters. We will continue at a relaxed pace, so I would be happy if you would continue to enjoy it with us🥰
Thank you for your support!!
