Okay so this might be a long post but I want to be honest about what I built and why, rather than just dropping a link.

I've been reading manga for years. At some point I started noticing how many talented Indian artists were putting out incredible work , on Instagram, on Twitter, on Webtoon and kind of disappearing into the noise. Great stories inspired by the Mahabharata, Mumbai street life, Indian horror folklore, small-town slice-of-life stuff that genuinely hits different because it's ours. And there was nowhere built specifically for it.

Webtoon is dominated by Korean and American content. Most Indian creators were just posting for free on social media with no real way to monetise beyond brand deals or Patreon in dollars.

So I spent the last several months building Indian Manga indianmanga.com

What it is:

A platform where Indian creators can publish manga and webtoon-style comics, build a reader base, and actually earn money from their work in rupees, through UPI, without jumping through hoops.

How creators earn:

Readers can subscribe for ₹199/month or ₹999/year which unlocks every premium chapter across the whole platform. That subscription pool gets split among creators every quarter based on how many premium reads they got from paying subscribers. So if your manga is getting read, you're earning - proportional to your actual readership.

On top of that, readers can unlock individual chapters as a one-time purchase. That goes 70% to you directly, immediately. No waiting for quarterly distribution.

And tips - 100% yours. No cut taken at all.

You keep full ownership of everything you publish. No exclusivity. Post here and on Instagram and on Webtoon simultaneously if you want - we don't care.

What it looks like right now:

Honestly? It's early. The catalogue is small. There are real readers on the platform but it's not thousands yet. I'm not going to pretend otherwise.

But that's also exactly why right now is the best time to join as a creator. The homepage surfaces new and trending manga - when there are fewer series, yours actually gets seen. The readers who are here are genuinely interested in Indian content, not just browsing past it.

For readers:

A bunch of chapters are free - you can read without spending anything. If you want to support creators and unlock everything, ₹199/month is less than a movie ticket. 70% of that goes directly to the creators you're reading. Not to me, not to investors — to the artists.

What I need from this community:

Creators : if you have a manga, a webtoon, even just a concept you've been sitting on, come publish it. It's free to start, takes about 10 minutes to upload your first chapter.

Readers : come read something. Leave a comment. Tell a creator their work is good. That stuff matters more than you think at this stage.

And everyone : tell me what's broken, what's missing, what you'd want to see. I'm one person building this and I genuinely want it to be something the Indian creator community is proud of.
