it's for release in asian countries outside Japan but don't worry, it still works as an NTSC-J game, I had the Asian ver of Intial D for PS2 only real difference was the fact that it had a chinese and english quick start guide.

I guess it's for the entire eastern side of asia and as most are able to read english even if they can't speak it, it's easier to do it in english than to produce one for each different language.

As far as I know they are, but it's just a quickstart guide (i.e. overlay of the controls an very basic info) rather than an indepth manual. The manual itself is still in Japanese afaik.
