I think Yowamushi Pedal is a good idea for Yen. I think of it as more a fujoshi manga than a sports manga. I just got back from Anime Boston today, and that series was wicked popular with fan artists and female cosplayers.
Women make up a higher percentage of manga buyers than men, while men make up a higher percentage of anime buyers. So I think this sort of series will do better in manga, as opposed to anime like Big Windup! which have failed.

Too bad about Servant x Service being digital only (and so far not getting a BD from Aniplex).

I'd likely check out the post-anime parts of the YP manga, if Yen Press' releases make it that far.

Yen Press got Yowamushi Pedal and Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun! Yes and Yes! Thank you Yen Press!
Although, I would have thought that Viz would get these, but I'm just happy that there'll be an English release for these.

Indeed. I've not even seen it yet and I'm rooting for it (Speaking as an unintended KuroBasu fan).
Super psyched for Nozaki-kun! And I hope Servant X Service does well enough to warrant a printed release; its anime was a ton of fun.

Will go for Monthly Girl's Nozaki-kun and Dragon's Rioting for physical release. On fence about Aldnoah.Zero.
Shame those that are digital release only are what I want as physical:

Yowamushi Pedal, Gekkan Shōjo Nozaki-kun, Handa-kun and more... That's an impressive list.

About time for Nozaki! It is worth it! Especially since it goes further and funnier than the actual anime.
If you like the anime, I highly recommend checking out the manga!

Okay, so YenPress are definitely getting my money when it comes to Nozaki-kun. Potentially, may have my money for the 2 volumes of Sakura no Himegoto...maybe. It is only 2 volumes...so I'll probably end up getting it.
They would've gotten some more of my money, if Servant x Service was in print. As it is digital, won't be buying it. If it is ever printed, then my wallet will have to bear the brunt of an assault.
There are some series that, during a quick search, didn't give me much info...or any, Shut-In Shoutarou Kominami Takes on the World being one of them. But, since it and the others I wanted to have a look into are digital only, not going to be too fussed about not finding the info.
Still, I get Nozaki-kun. And, that's all that really matters to me, at this point.

Im glad Yowamushi and Nozaki got picked up but Yen Press is always expensive to buy from. I hope that these don't go with the trend and end up costing around $15... Its way too much! and i also read that they picked up prison school and its gonna be selling for around $20? I could buy two books from Shounen Jump with that smh.

A lot of their more expensive titles are omnibus editions or (likely) bad sellers. Prison School's MSRP is 20 dollars but can be bought at Amazon or TRSI for ~15. Judging by the 400 page count, it's a two volume omnibus.
