Gushing Over Magical Girls is based on a magical girl manga series by Akihiro Ononaka. J-Novel Club licenses the manga in English and describes the plot as:
“Hi, I’m Hiiragi Utena. I’m a normal magical-girl-loving middle school girl—or at least I was, but then some talking mascot showed up out of the blue and cast a spell on me! Now’s my chance to join my beloved magical girls as…a villain? Hang on, something’s wrong with my outfit! This can’t be happening! Watch this shy magical-girl fan transform into a sadistic dominatrix! When good and evil collide, who will be the one to submit?!”
HIDIVE is streaming the anime.
