After a mix-up with their leases, two Lesbians, Jaden and Riley, must learn to share a small, one-bedroom apartment. Friendship, and eventually romance ensues.
*** This is my story, Lease Bound. A webcomic for lesbians, about lesbians, by a lesbian. ***
This story has been shocking (in a good way). I’m the only lesbian I know irl in my age range (18-25) who calls themself a lesbian. I havent met anyone else. Everyone is non binary, and likes women and other non binaries (the female ones, shh) . Just because they dont want to be women doesnt mean theyre not women. Because of this, I don’t know much on actual lesbian culture and its cool to hear about! I just finished chapter 4 or so. Going great so far, and thank you for putting in so much effort ā”
thank you so much for your work! the world needs more stories about women, stories that openly express gender criticism, and you described Riley’s thought process on the topic so accurately! i’m so sorry that you had to face hatred in the comments because of this, i hope it doesn’t affect you too much and you feel well. all the characters turned out so alive, watching how they interact with each other is such a pleasure. i’m really looking forward for new chapters, and i hope to see even more different media from you someday. your art matters š
I love the design of your two main characters! You’re so careful to make each character an individual, no same-face syndrome in sight (or same body-type), and this comes across with your main characters from the very start. Seeing representation of what average butch lesbians look like must be so encouraging for young lesbians today! When was the last time we got to see TWO butch lesbians in one piece of media? Keep up the great work!
None of your arguments make sense you need therapy. All the shit you say sounds like the calls coming from inside the house. Your not helping women or lesbians so cut the shit your not a feminist. My sexuality isnāt a political identity and neither is being trans. Stay tf away from any pride since you can even stand with the WOMEN who started pride and fought for the right for us to even be alive. Your disgusting. The fact youāve been around so long and your account and comic is still shit isnāt a flex itās proof. Calling being trans a mental illness makes u the same as everyone who calls being gay one. Sounds like a bunch of self hatred. You canāt even come up worry valid arguments your no better then any homophobe full of idiotic hate. Maybe this shit would slide in 2018 but itās not now grow tf up and realize weād be nowhere without trans people.
Just discovered your content and keep it up!! I hope the hate isn’t getting to you, I know I’d crack with everyone writing the comments they are to you :(. It’s sad to see the (western/American) world in this state. As another lesbian, I’ve actually tried dating a few transwomen and I couldn’t! I was too uncomfortable!! They just can’t listen to us.
Rusty, sending much love. I should’ve been prepared for the tsunami of lesbophobia this month, but it just didn’t occur to me. Of course, they tell on themselves every time they post.
Just so, we always do.
don’t listen to the haters. they don’t like to think with their brains lol. keep it up
Aaah the cover is so cute I’m excited to read it, ignore all those rude comments they arent worth the trouble
I’m a straight woman, but I love a good story. You have created not only a good story but adorable artwork. Ignore the ass clowns. Even if they do come up with super clever insults like Doodoo Brain.
A couple of hashtags I used before being banned from Twatter for saying men can’t become women and shouldn’t be allowed in women’s changing rooms:
#StraightWithTheL #DropTheTQ (and the rest of the mess that comes after it.)
Feel like that guy holding on to a pizza in the room of fire meme image reading some of these comments holy shit..
Hi! I have a question for you, if you don’t mind answering: What is your opinion on females, that are born a female and identify as a female (cis), but use they/them pronouns? I saw your opinion on trans people, but because this hypothetical female is technically cis, do you think that counts? I’m not talking about me, I’m a she/her, cis-Lesbian, but I just wondered
I recently sat down and read this whole comic and decided I’m gonna go through and leave some comments I’ve been holding in for forever.
Anyways! Seeing your recent cover followed by the first page and just how much your style had developed is very inspiring!
I am so sorry about the abuse youāre getting just for being a lesbian, and not catering to selfish, delusional men. I wish I could own a hard copy of your first issue. I am big fan of radical ramblingsš. As another banned everywhere lesbian, I can relate a lot. It doesnāt make me feel so alone. Anyway I hope you continue.
Okay, seen snippets of this around gonna give it a read start to finish as if I’ve seen nothing and see how this stuff progressed. gotta say cover alone I would of if I had no context of guessed this to be either a coming of age story, an isekai, or a modern fantasy romance.
Nice art, has a very homely vibe. Like I could see this being a comic you’d pick up so you could read it on a rainy night inside. The contrast of their outfits to each other really makes them, pop out too.
Hey, nice, I’m glad to found this spectacular comic. I’m used to search for months just to find the old stories I already knew, but this one seems more original. I always look forward to new lesbian stories that aren’t pornographic and hope that there will be more comics like Leasebound. I like colorful, soft artstyles like this, but also very dark, maybe even more so. With a more mysterious tone and art style reminiscent of the game Dishonored Death of the Outsider and the anime Ergo Proxy. I’m a big fan of Billie Lurk’s design (minus the colored eyes) in DotO and Re-L Mayer’s design (but not the corset and pants).
I think it would be adorable to have clothes that are more techwear goth/Victorian style, in a anti-pornified/feminized way. Just as a little inspiration for possibly further pojects.
Regards from Iceland!
wow i remember reading this š so happy that you’re still making Lease Bound ā¤ļø I’m re-reading from the very first page again. I miss my girlies
Hi Rustyhearts!
Personally, I love your artstyle, albeit it changes frequently, you give a cozy comfort in your work! I’d love to see more lesbian comics like these.
Love your art, can’t wait to see improvement and more character development, Dove.
I understand you get a lot of hate, please take care.
This comic is a top 9/10 out of most comics I’ve read.
Rock on, make more lesbian shit because we need more LB comics not made by fetishists, Dove.
Leaving my support bc I adore you and Lease Bound and all that you are!!!
recently reread leasebound bc I hadnāt been keeping up with it (I think it was around chapter 5-6 when I read it haha) and I really like it! sorry I dont have anything interesting to say really, love what youāre doing here though.
but I do have to information you, unfortunately, that even though all of your characters are Australianā I cannot hear Riley as anything other than Kate Miccuci. even from the first time I read it, I just couldnāt picture anything else. Itās impossible.
