Manta Comics operates an in-house studio, as well as working with outside partners, to produce original webcomics. It says that it delivers “bingeable, captivating webcomics to fans of romance, fantasy, drama, horror and mystery stories.” It does so via a $3.99 monthly subscription – rather than the webtoon industry’s traditional pay-per-episode model – and is available on Android and iOS.
The company is owned and operated by RIDI Corporation, a top producer and distributor of webcomics and web-novels in Korea. It claims to be the country’s first content startup to earn unicorn status. It launched a North America unit in November 2020. Manta’ lineup includes “Under the Oak Tree,” “Semantic Error,” “Disobey the Duke if You Dare,” “Totem’s Realm” and “No Love Zone.”
