Manta is introducing a dedicated section for independent creators, allowing them to upload episodes via a creator studio and build fan communities. This new area will launch on November 16, keeping existing official series separate while offering future opportunities for monetization and potential inclusion in the main lineup. Interested creators can submit contact details through an online form to express interest.

Additionally, the platform launched the "Move Your Bookshelf" program on October 9 to assist readers migrating from Tapas, which is shutting down in March 2027. Users who purchased at least ten episodes on Tapas can apply to rebuild their libraries on Manta for free by submitting proof of purchase. Approved content will be added to their accounts in its original version.
