<p>Yuru Yuri has a lot of references to a Magical Girl series that Kyōko does alot of successful dōjin of featuring a girl called Mirakurun who Chinatsu looks like.</p>

<p>I am wondering if Mirakurun is actually based off any particular anime/manga or just a generic reference to the Magical Girl genre.</p>

I'm pretty sure Majokko Mirakurun is just a parody of the magical girl genre altogether.

There's often jokes where Mirakurun acts very atypically of a magical-girl as presented in the genre:
