Kenichi Shurutsu, a 15-year-old high school student of German ancestry living in Japan, turns out to be descended from German alchemist Johann Schultz, whose bloodline confers magical abilities. So his (female) cousin Rena forces him to crossdress, so he can act as a MagicalGirl and fight evil. And make lots of money. [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext No, it doesn't even make sense in context]], but that's OK, because this is a gag-driven parody that runs strictly on RuleOfFunny.
