Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: ComicGlass at 74% against 週刊ダイヤモンド's 10%. ComicGlass also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 7 months) and chart position (#43 vs unranked). 週刊ダイヤモンド's advantage is price (Free vs $3.99) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.6). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
