Interesting idea but it would end up being so wildly different from the source that you'd be best up writing an original concept with a few inspirations.
I think a Britiosh version would be good, i actually live in a english version of hinamizawa excluding the whole crazy deaths and such but the layout is pretty similar and we even have the 2 ruling families. Basically i think an english version would be entirely possible given the right oppotunity so long as oyashiro sama isn't a saint of some sort
