I was looking at UsefulNotes.New Zealand, and I noticed that Rain was listed under "New Zealand in fiction". I'm not very familiar with the comic, but from what I've read, it seems like it's actually set in the US. Can someone tell me if I'm correct or not, so I know if I should remove it from the page?

Well, Jocelyn's Deviant Art page lists her as being in the US. So that would suggest that Rain is set there, too. And there are some indications that it's set there. I certainly haven't seen any indications that it's not. The characters sound American. I haven't seen any particularly unfamiliar slang, which I almost certainly would if it was set in New Zealand. So yeah, I'd say remove it.

Thanks. I've read the first few chapters just to make sure, and from a New Zealanders's perspective, it sounds very American (students going to "gym" instead of "PE" and all that) so I'll take it out of the page.
