I...I don't know how to react to that premise.

Oretama by Shigemitsu Harada did it first/much earlier and was much funnier than this. This just left me feeling uncomfortable.

Oretama was incredible because it paired great comedy with of course all your archetype waifu characters. I'll check this out at least.

The "Ejaculate Daimonds" portion of that description reminded me of Dethklok's "I Ejaculate Fire" or Cannibal corpse's "I cum Blood" Anime hyper

Wonder how much of his life, he has already lost, prior to the beginning of the series. He probably produced some diamonds while sleeping.

Just another take on that particular trope. Remember that old one, where the Demon Lord would be released to destroy the world.

You'd think he would want to keep this a secret, cause yeah. 'diamond' diggers would be after you, but more likely, you have more to fear from, criminal 'get rich quickly' types, the mob, and assorted evil rich people. But since this is a comedy, it will probably be a bevy of beautiful girls.

Before Oretama, there was Cupid no Itazura - Njidama. Just read the Mangaupdates description. Though this one is a more "mature" (with its share of melodrama) romance take of the concept.

I'm behind on Witches of Adamas but it has comedy, fanservice, and some drama. It's... quite interesting or enough to help through a bad day with some good laughs if you can get past the concept.
