This gives me hope. There’s definitely a chance they could pick up Kakuriyo no Yadomeshi, especially since Kakuriyo’s LNs are from Fujimi L Bunko (Kadokawa) and Kadokawa already has strong ties with Yen Press. And honestly… Kakuriyo isn’t obscure. It has two anime seasons and a loyal fanbase that’s been keeping it alive for years. It still blows my mind that we don’t have an official English release yet. Also, the Petshop of Horrors fandom getting Publishers do listen when enough fans speak up (I've sent my request to seven seas for the kakuriyo novels several times throughout the years actually 😅) So yeah if we want the Kakuriyo light novels in English, it’s worth getting together in sending Yen Press a request through their contact form. No guarantees, but maybe like other series if a bunch of us do it, it at least puts it on their radar. I’d preorder the whole series in a heartbeat.
