Fair warning: The tropes being parodied are staples in magical girl and BL series, and may be hit or miss. For example, Yumoto's cuddle addiction starts out funny but then quickly grows into a weird inversion of the shota trope where the shota is the one being too handsy. Needless to say, if you are squeamish of anime content that alludes to sexual assault even in a parody setting, you may want to tread lightly here.
Due to the nature of the series, interesting details about the main cast get sprinkled into the plot, but very few of those details are ever expanded on. The intention behind this was to leave plenty of room for viewers to fill in the blanks with their imaginations, but do be aware of this if you prefer a series that doesn't leave so many questions behind. Fortunately, that does mean the shipping potential in this series is astounding! There are so many different character types to choose from and so many story arcs to imagine or expand upon. If you are an avid multishipper and the concept of the series interests you, you may find yourself at home here.
For a show that was written largely on a whim and sprinkled with inside jokes, it works. The episodes that play out like a spot the reference (sometimes from other magical girl series, sometimes from BL series), the many references to Japanese culture, and the punny names may be confusing to a Western audience, but there is a lot of humor that shines through regardless of how much knowledge you may have on the subject. Thankfully, this is a series that can be appreciated by both a casual viewer and someone who prefers to dig a little deeper.
If you're looking for a laugh, want to look at some pretty animation for a few hours, and none of the above information has deterred you, then I highly recommend adding Boueibu to your anime lineup!
