Based on the artstyle and that its two younger girls, I'd say its for moe fans. It probably has yuri undertones too.

Looking at the official website of the magazine, it looks like a Seinen magazine.

Whenever there's a new anime series announced based on some relatively unknown work (at least for us westerners), people quickly try to determine what demographic the anime is targeting, and then proceed to make fun of the series after reading a brief description. You could go back and look at any announcement article, and you'd see basically the same thing happen every time.

Some people also seem quick to latch onto the moe aspect of a series and quickly dismiss it as junk.

Because 90% of moe stories (as the 90% of everything) is junk.

I repeat Sturgeon’s Revelation, which was wrung out of me after twenty years of wearying defense of science fiction against attacks of people who used the worst examples of the field for ammunition, and whose conclusion was that ninety percent of SF is crud. Using the same standards that categorize 90% of science fiction as trash, crud, or crap, it can be argued that 90% of film, literature, consumer goods, etc. are crap. In other words, the claim (or fact) that 90% of science fiction is crap is ultimately uninformative, because science fiction conforms to the same trends of quality as all other artforms.
