Announcement and Cover
Flona's Novel Becomes a Global Webtoon
The novel 아이싱 온 더 케이크 by Flona was first published on Ridibooks in June 2025 across four complete volumes. It centers on Jurij Kiselyov, a side character from the earlier novel The First Commandment, who now takes the leading uke role.
The webtoon adaptation features a script by Seonsu and illustrations by YeonSeo. The series is launching simultaneously across multiple countries through Lezhin, Bomtoon, and Beltoon.
Details on how much of the original novel will be adapted or revised for the webtoon have not been disclosed. Further episode information and bonuses remain pending.
An Underworld Bodyguard Meets a Hockey Superstar
Jurij Kiselyov has survived the bottom of the underworld by keeping his head down. His life changes when he is hired to protect Chariot "Cherry" Goodnight, a famous North American hockey star.
From their first meeting, Cherry flirts relentlessly. Once Cherry discovers Jurij's criminal past, the charm turns into sharp hostility. A deadly threat then forces them into a continuous protection arrangement.
Cherry continues to despise Jurij, yet cannot suppress his physical attraction. Jurij must keep Cherry alive while navigating the thin line between pure hatred and dangerous desire.
Cover and Character Visuals
The official cover features a cherry pie, bullets, and the tagline "Dangerously Sweet." Character art presents Cherry (pink/blonde hair, green eyes) with a seductive and playful aura, while Jurij (dark hair, blue eyes) appears colder and more dangerous.
Pre-release illustrations show tense moments between the two, including scenes involving a gun, masks, and close proximity.
Why This Matters
1) Shared universe with The First Commandment
Jurij is a character already familiar to Flona's readers. Fans of the previous novel get a full story focused on him.
2) Strong trope combination
Bodyguard + hate-to-love + sports star + adult content is a highly popular formula in the BL genre.
3) Simultaneous global launch
The webtoon is released nearly at the same time across Korea, Taiwan, Japan, the US, Europe, and Thailand, improving accessibility.
4) YeonSeo's sensual visuals
The character designs emphasize the contrast between Cherry's "sweet" appearance and Jurij's darker presence, matching the "Dangerously Sweet" theme.
