Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: 続 at monthly against JapaneseDoll's every 6 months. 続 also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (97% vs 88%). JapaneseDoll's advantage is ratings volume (2K vs 6) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
