True, and unfortunately we are well past that peak time. Even the relatively new Sentai release was over three years ago.

As you said, since there are North American publishers that have relations with Kadokawa, the possibility would be not zero percent, however.
Unfortunately I doubt that it is much higher than zero, for reasons which have been given.
I am going to consider importing a few volumes and reading scanlations for the translation.

By the way, have you noticed that The World of Narue is wordplay on A. E. van Vogt's The World of Null-A? Marukawa Tomohiro is a fan of science fiction.
 
No, I had not noticed. That is rather embarrassing because I have read The World of Null-A. My only excuse is that I never thought about how "Null-A" might be pronounced in Japan.
Now that you have mentioned it it does seem obvious.
