Raging Tide is a for-profit fanzine centered on the character Childe from Genshin Impact. Raging tide is particularly notable for its high interest, more "luxury" pricing, and a few unique merch items - tarot cards, a lenticular print featuring childe and his foul legacy form, and a booba mousepad.
