Sazae-san has all of its volumes so translated. Also, the defunct magazine Mangajin had such features in every issue.

I think the best thing you can do is try to find some issues of the late Mangajin. Besides the best translation system I've ever seen, it had some interesting (but mostly unknown abroad) manga, and very interesting articles. The second best thing you can do is (IMO) search for fantranslations on the net. There are some very good ones available with highly annotated translations.

I don't think there is much manga which has English and Japanese in the same book, as a matter of fact I know only two examples and those aren't manga but artbooks: Intron Depot 1 & 2 by Masamune Shirow.

Also, Mangajin has put the sections in two volumes called 'Basic Japanese Through Comics' I got one volume at Border's bookstore, and the other at a Japanese stuff shop. So they shouldn't be hard to find.

The second volume of Tony Takezaki's AD POLICE adaptation features both English and Japanese text, even if the English translations are a bit awkward. To the best of my knowledge, the book hasn't been released outside of Japan, but it shouldn't be too hard to find a copy somewhere.

I know that some exist. I have a rare 'Urusei Yatsura' book that is printed in Japanese and English

Hi,

Kia Asamiya 'Gaia' art-book is also both text English-Japanese.

You can do just as well, by checking if a Japanese manga has online translation somewhere.

For example, there are K.O.R. translations, at http://www.student.oulu.fi/~kkolehma/scripts/kor/

They have the ENTIRE series there (48 chapters
