Described as "the world's first shotacon anime" by its producer, it was marketed primarily to appeal to a male audience of Japanese shotacons. The series spawned a one-shot manga , a computer game and a music video album. Because of the high cost of producing anime, the characters and contents were intensively product-tested before production began. The series gained a niche following in the Anglosphere after a viral video called "Don't watch an Anime Called Boku" was posted on YouTube circa In the video, a male viewer is heard describing the three episodes of the OVA and comparing the experience of watching them to selling his soul to Lucifer. It has since evolved into an Internet meme and a copypasta.
