Actually french are usually first or one of the first, except for some Jump titles (because of Alpha). France have quite a big market and a lot more stuff is licensed in french than in english. Even in italian there is quite a lot stuff not released in english.

And don't expect english license soon. Kodansha USA said they are with full hands for 2014 (Monster Soul May 2014 and another series where announced as the new stuff for 2014). If you check their page where people ask questions, you will see that Nanatsu is currently not in their plans. They say it's still early and still don't have 1 year and will be keeping an eye for it, but their hands are full for 2014. So unless it becomes even more popular, the earliest license should be in 2015...
