From the looks of it seems like it takes place in a specific time period or if not it might have something involving s&m for some reason. Just a guess.

I'm all up for new series by Kouji Kumeta. His humour is pretty enjoyable.
Also, the translated title seems to be "The Impatient Count & the Time Thief". By the sound of it, seems like it'll be either fantasy or scifi.
Fantasy/sci-fi setting, yes, but Kumeta's works are almost always comedies. I don't expect anything different.
It's hard to not expect some satire and dark comedy from him, though i sincerely hope the humour style in his new work leans more towards Joshiraku's happy and uplifting tone, not the depressing and cringeworthy one that's often found in Zetsubou Sensei.
Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei is often categorized as dark comedy, and is certainly darker than Joshiraku, but it isn't really all that depressing. In fact, it is pretty damn light most of the time. The various societal norms and ills that are made fun of are rarely serious in nature, and, indeed, whenever one of the characters does bring up something serious, Itoshiki generally reacts by calling that too dark for the conversation at hand. It may be dark humour, but I rarely found it actually depressing.

And it has been over 1.5 years since Kumeta last wrote any manga. So welcome back!
