Put not so simply...
TSR released a book called the Rules Cyclopedia in the west to end cap the Basic system.
The Japanese translation of this book got overly simplified made into 3 separate manga sized booklets. Finding any dice other than d6s in Japan was almost impossible. So the books converted everything to d6.
These books became pretty popular and so the Japanese TTRPG scene sort of spun off from there instead of AD&D.
Sword World in one form or another has been going for quiet sometime now and is kinda like their own variation of D&D (like The Dark Eye in Germany).
But is it good?
Yeah it's pretty fun. It's a rules light system with a focus on constructing custom combination clases and loot hunting.
The translations that are available now for Sword World 2.5 are actually really good (on the level of the Double Cross translations) so it's much easier to pick up than it was 5 or so years ago.
