Preorders for Komorebi: A Genshin Impact Modern Actors Zine have been extended from August 26th to September 23rd, 11:59 PM PST! We hope to see you!

About Komorebi

Komorebi (木漏れ日) is a zine featuring the cast of the game Genshin Impact as modern actors where they play as their own characters in the Genshin Impact Cinematic Universe (GICU) — a series of films working around canon story quests, hangout events, lore, etc.Our name is based on the in-game establishment located in the nation of Inazuma, “Komore Teahouse” (木漏茶屋),“Komore" itself meaning the light passing through the gaps between trees; from here we came upon where such a term was usually used, hence Komorebi — sunlight streaming through the trees. We believe this encompasses our theme in its entirety as through this zine, we are able to explore acting as an alternative universe. We thought of relating Komorebi as individual spotlights shining through a stage, as sunlight pierce in between the leaves and illuminate the ground beneath.

Head and Organization Mod

Hey, it’s El, Komorebi’s Head and Writer Mod! I’m currently a general secretary for an organization so I can assure you that I can keep the work running so we can make this project a good one! As for being a writer, I’ve worked on publishing a book before this and am presently working on another one to publish. For zine experience, this is my first modding work, so I’m a little excited about how this’ll turn out! I’m open to suggestions so send them my way!

Experience? Hmm... I haven't worked on a fandom zine before but I did experience contributing to a local newspaper issue. I was also able to layout a magazine-type release issue, and occasionally receive some art commissions locally and internationally. I’ve worked with local book writers to draw for their books. I guess that's just all I can remember for now. I still have a lot to learn... Everybody has to start somewhere, right?

Hello! I'm Haru and I am the graphics mod for Komorebi! I've been working with Photoshop for 7 years and I am a freelance graphic designer in my personal time, occasionally working with my school on publication materials. I haven't worked on any zines yet as I don't really delve into that side of stan culture but I hope this can help me gain experience to join more zines in the future~
