[Notice] Manta Membership Launched on September 29, 2025

Summary: 
On September 29, 2025 (21:00 ET), we launched Manta Membership, a new structure that combines existing plans with new benefits. All current subscribers automatically become members. Existing plans, access, and prices do not change. All members will receive extra Gems on every Gem fill-up, and Premium plan subscribers will receive 142 Monthly Gems instead of 125 (at the same price). With this update, the Monthly Pack and Exclusive Monthly Pack will be discontinued.

Dear Readers,

Today, we are thrilled to announce a significant evolution at Manta. As of September 29, 2025 (21:00 ET), Manta Subscription has officially transitioned to Manta Membership. This is more than just a name change; it's a new structure designed to bring you more stories and more value, all for the same price.

Welcome to Manta Membership

With our mission to bring you captivating stories that spark imagination and inspire, we’ve grown from a subscription-only model to a platform with even more ways to read - including series you can unlock with Gems. Manta Membership combines our existing plans with new, built-in benefits to give you more value across everything Manta has to offer.

A Membership gives you access to the Unlimited Library (formerly known as the “subscription library”) which is a collection of over 300 series you can binge, as well as Gem benefits. Whether you enjoy binging series from the library or unlocking pay-per-episode Gem series, Manta Membership is the best way to read on Manta.

When we introduced the GEM system, we did it to bring more creators' stories to our platform. It was not meant to replace the Unlimited Library — the two complement each other, letting us give our readers more options. With Membership, we wanted to create a structure that provided value across both the subscription library and Gem-only series. At its core, Manta Membership is built to make enjoying all Manta content easier and more affordable.

A Summary of the Changes:

• Subscribers Become Members
  If you're an existing subscriber, you automatically become a member. Pricing of existing subscriptions is not affected.
   
• Introducing Unlimited Library
  The subscription library has been reborn as the Unlimited Library, which will remain at the heart of our Membership. It includes a collection of over 300 series for you to binge and continues to grow with more Manta Originals and licensed series added every month.
   
• Extra Gems with Every Fill Up
  All members now receive extra Gems on every Gem bundle purchase, every time, with no limits. The amount of extra Gems you receive depends on the bundle size and may vary based on your Membership plan.
   
• More Gems with Premium
  The Premium plan now includes 142 Gems every month, up from 125, at the same price of $9.99. That’s 17 extra Gems to unlock 3-4 more episodes of the stories you love.
   
• Retirement of Monthly Packs
  With the new benefit of extra Gems on every fill up, the Monthly Pack and Exclusive Monthly Pack are being discontinued. This change allows you to save on every Gem purchase, not just once a month. Don’t worry! Any unused Gems from a Monthly Pack will remain in your Gem box.
   

Looking to the Future

The Unlimited Library will remain at the heart of Manta Membership. Since we introduced the GEM system in 2024, many outstanding series have joined our Unlimited Library, and we are committed to expanding it with more great stories, including Manta Originals.

We’re excited to unveil Manta Membership, but this is only the beginning. We’re working to bring you more Membership benefits and even more content beyond comics! Stay tuned for updates.

Thank you for being part of our journey. Your support lets us dream bigger, and we hope you'll walk with us into Manta’s next chapter.

With heartfelt gratitude,

The Manta Team
