Also, be interesting to know whether the series was cut off before they had a chance to develop Jun into a kind of p/t magical girl, which the OVA seems to go out of the way setting Jun up as.
Well, it certainly wasn't that the series was "cut off" in any sense -- it was always planned for 12 episodes with the one OVA episode that was included with the PS2 game. The OVA is a bit of an omake episode; I guess you could say it's a sort of fanservice for the hardcore fans. This is also the sort of plot that got explored in the Happiness! fandisk.

Nah -- it's not a show that has quite that much mainstream appeal.
