There are now English-language instructions as well. http://jppuzzles.com/wp-content/uploads ... 519_en.pdf
Or read the Japanese version for good practise of 'instructionless' types.
It's interesting that there are no standard 'Nikoli' style puzzles this year.

The puzzles were a really fun set with lots of new (to me at least) types.
Puzzles 2/4 were a nice example of culture advantage/disadvantage.
Point allocation seemed rather questionable overall but the answer codes were very user friendly.
Definitely recommended.
