nah i think it has something like a clear plastic page that goes in between the regular pages, and the clear plastic pages have dialogue boxes in english that cover the japanese ones

Most of the bilingual books done by Kodansha have the japanese and the english on the same page. They are kind of jumbled.

Well, they are like english mangas. There is english dialogue in the text bubbles, and there is Japanese dialogue off to the sides. So it's like someone took an English manga and added Japanese translations in the margins.
They are very easy to read, good translations, and VERY high quality. I would definantly reccomend one.
EDIT: here's a sample

They aren't confusing at all and some titles are not available in english otherwise. I highly recommend them.
