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.

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

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:

Mirakurun blasts Rivalrun into the distance with her 10T "Mirakurun Super
Hammer". Which is a trope more commonly seen in shonen anime - a high contrast
with shoujo works.

As for gags that may be referencing shows, there's one about the lengthy
transformation sequences that we would see in many magical girl shows such as
Sailor Moon or Puella Magi Madoka Magica:

Mirakurun also says various lines mid battle that are very typical of these
type of shows. This one is remarkably similar to sailor moon's phrase:

It's possible that the writer was inspired by Sailor Moon or similar series,
but the gags are too generic to say for certain, and I'm of the opinion that
it's just of the genre in general
