Pages by Rain Chapter

Rain is a slice-of-life/dramedy webcomic written and drawn by Jocelyn Samara DiDomenick about a trans girl named Rain. The comic is about her successful attempt to pass her senior year of high school presenting as a girl. The comic also covers many other LGBT issues and takes place in late August 2012. The comic also has a prequel: My Impossible Soulmate.

The comic itself is hosted in two places: DeviantArt and Comic Fury. Hosting on SmackJeeves has been discontinued following a change on the site that locked out the author's account and broke most direct comic links.

It has a Facebook page here, patreon account (where you can get sneak peeks) here, a Discord server here and a TvTropes page here.

Trivia

• Throughout the entire comic, only a single page is different depending on which platform you read it from.
• There has only been one documented instance of a page's contents being significantly changed post-publication. (Jocelyn sometimes fixes minor mistakes, like having two pair of eyebrows or grammar).
• The spines of the physical versions of the comic are the colors of the seven-color rainbow pride flag.
• Ringtones were originally supposed to be actual song lyrics, but the idea was scrapped because it was both impractical since pages can be crowded enough as-is, and because Lynn wants to avoid using brand names.
• Lynn has stated that she plans to put Rain on Tapas.
• The comic has been used for examples numerous times in the English Wiktionary.
