South Korean drama comics platform Manta has forayed into the French-speaking world. It has now selected as many as 10 titles for its audiences in France, Canada, and other French-speaking markets, Deadline reported.
Titles including Manta’s acclaimed series, such as Under the Oak Tree, Lies Become You, I’ve Become a True Villainess, Mokrin, Finding Camellia, and Disobey the Duke if You Dare, will debut in France. New releases are also scheduled for every month.
Following a Spanish launch in Spring 2023, this move represents Manta’s second localisation initiative.
Manta, a digital comics platform, provides subscribers with exclusive K-drama content, attracting readers and audiences alike. As of January 2024, the platform boasted 14 million downloads. Its comics have successfully transitioned into TV dramas and physical books. Manta, owned by South Korea’s RIDI Corporation, debuted in November 2020 and has since established itself as a prominent comics app in the US, Mexico, and Spain.
Travis Kim, CEO of Manta stated, “We consider Manta to be the ultimate destination for every fan who is deeply passionate about exceptional storytelling.” Kim added, “With a library of best-in-class stories cherished by millions of English and Spanish-speaking fans, Manta has actively embraced a significant opportunity to connect with an even broader audience by introducing French as our next language expansion.”
