Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Suwatte at none against Manga Viewer's 5. Suwatte also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 82%). Manga Viewer's advantage is ratings volume (349 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
