Welcome to the Carrd for the webcomic Dakishimete!PLEASE NOTE:
Due to a severe tear in my spine, there is no exact set schedule for this webcomic. This means that I update as often as I can, while trying to maintain a very healthy work schedule --- but there are occasional days, weeks, or even months where I am unable to create. If you are someone who wants to be in the loop for where things are in the creative process or are curious about a lack of updates, consider checking out the Substack linked above.

The Dungeon Cleaners, a collection of elite warriors whose main purpose revolves around the extermination of dangers that are often found in the darker places of the world — a world that Risse Crownshield isn’t even from. The aspect of ‘dangers’ comes into question when Risse rescues a creature that would otherwise be destroyed. Forced to go on the run, the warlock finds himself not only in love but also questioning everything he has ever experienced in his past.Who can he turn to, when even his reflection isn’t reliable?
A journey for truth and completeness shakes entire worlds.
All to answer one question: What is worth protecting?Dakishimete! is an LGBTQIA+ fantasy/sci-fi webcomic that follows Risse and Fork as they try to avoid Dungeon Cleaners in a world that is rife with danger and lies. It focuses on how understanding can change people — for better or worse — and it asks so many questions about fate and how a person decides what’s important to them at any point in their lives.

Used to being cold and disconnected, he is now learning more about who he wants to be in the world he’s stuck with.

Fork is what happens when something that absolutely shouldn't be cloned is indeed cloned. Originally kept deep within a laboratory dungeon, he defended it when a cleaner came to sweep the place out -- but was shown kindness and spared instead. Now free from the life of basically being treated like a wild dangerous animal, he is doing everything he can to figure himself out.
