Rose Among the Thorns is an up-coming #WebtoonCanvas series that takes place in the same universe as UProoted Project. It features an 9 women trapped in a hotel with the body of an unknown man.

FIRST ISSUE: JANUARY 2026

#rattcomic #urpj
Ayșegül Tilki is in front of a pink-orange gradient background with rose petals and flowers behind her. She has tan skin, blonde hair with dark roots showing, and pink eyes. She is wearing a light pink dress with short sleeves and lace borders. 9 women. 1 body. Countless Mysteries. Nine women are invited to the Florette Hotel in Rosewood, California to attend an annual conference for female professionals. One day, they wake up to the hotel grounds on lockdown and the corpse of a murdered man in the dining room. Trapped in the building until they figure out the circumstances of his death, these women must fight for an answer before someone else ends up dead. The guests of the hotel believe they have no involvement in this killing, but perhaps they are more entangled in the bramble than they could have ever imagined. Is there a rose among the thorns, or has the entire garden been blighted?

Hi, Arborists! After some careful consideration, I've decided that URPJ will become a web comic rather than a web series. It will most likely be hosted on the platform Webtoon and crossposted to other sites like Tapas and ComicFury. Upon each chapter's completion, I hope to have the panels dubbed over and shared in video format. Sorry if this is disappointing news to hear, but I need to reasonably pace myself if I want anything to be completed. Due to this change, production time should be much quicker, and I hope to have the beginning of the prologue out by the 1st quarter of 2026. Thanks again for all the support so far. It means more than you guys could ever know. - Merry (URPJ Dev)
