The intro sets nearly every expectation for this series as a run-of-the-mill [[HaremGenre harem]] comedy with a little magic thrown in... Which it is, as far as that goes. The real hook is that every person in the world has a set number of uses of magic that they're born with, be that a handful, to a few hundreds, or well beyond. Once a person uses their last magic, their body turns to ash and they die. Aoi Gakuen is a school which prides itself on the fact that the average number of uses of magic of its students ranges well into the tens of thousands. Meanwhile, Kazuki's grand total is... Eight. However, because of a coincidence of powerful mages in his family tree, each of his eight spells [[CompetitiveBalance is more powerful than anything any other mage in the world is capable of]].

Not to be confused with ''{{Mahoraba}}'', or the town in ''KannazukiNoMiko'', Mahoroba.

* UnskilledButStrong: Kazuki's SuperpoweredGenetics makes him the mage equivalent to a rocket launcher. That said, he's only able to use eight spells before he dies.

* GhostShipping: [[spoiler:Kazuki has a harem despite being dead.]]

* {{Fanservice}}: Tons of it
* {{Flanderization}} (though, the character was so bland at the beginning that it actually helped)
* GamerChick Kazuki's teacher, Iba
* GhostShipping [[spoiler:Kazuki has a harem despite being dead.]]

->''"I'm Shikimori Kazuki, a seventeen-year-old attending Aoi Gakuen. Really, I'm such a worthless guy that girls won't even look at me. Then, all of a sudden, three beautiful girls appeared in my life out of nowhere! But, what they were after wasn't really me... it was my genes!"'' -- Shikimori Kazuki, ''Maburaho'' intro

* TenchiSolution: Implied at the end of the series [[spoiler: after Kazuki somehow manages to split himself up into multiple copies. While none of the girls seemed to mind it, Yuna seems to only want one of him, and she wants him to herself.]]
