Global webtoon platform Manta is set to add manga to its catalog, according to its parent company Ridi on Wednesday, in order to broaden its offerings and deepen user engagement. The move marks Manta’s latest step in expanding beyond webtoons. Since its global launch in 2020, the platform has grown on a hybrid business model that combines subscriptions with pay-per-title purchases, reaching 19 million cumulative downloads across 175 countries.
