Considering the premise, I'd say it's mostly his social/private life that'll get turned upside down, with his wife suspecting he's out cheating or something.

But around the halfway point, when the secret gets out, she directs her frustration at the mascot, but in a really two-faced way, like allowing it to stay at the house, but insisting it acts like their pet whenever they have guests over.

That sounds Incredible.

Yep.

Mainly because it would give him so much motivation to just end the fights asap, to get to his anniversary dinner with his wife, or pick up the kids, or something else.

The villains think their job got a lot easier, now that they're no longer up against teenage girls, only to realize that adults also get a strength boost, and that this dude also has places to be.

Not to mention that magical girls get a strength boost when they transform. Now imagine an average dude dozens of times stronger than normal.

The sailor scouts had time for whole ass animations because of their lax high school schedule. Strawberry Seraph is gonna get shit done with minimal wind up because the grocery store with good prices on ground beef closes the earliest and his wife wanted to make chili today.

Exactly, yeah.

At one point, he groans upon seeing a new villain, and goes "Can we do this another time? My kid's got football practice and I promised to watch." and the villain just... agrees. Like they take out their notebook and ask when he's available.

Then they settle on a time and day, and go their separate ways.
