Normally I wouldn't read too much into the boku thing, but it's hard to ignore in the context of a gender bender manga that hasn't really been invoking its gender bender energy lately. Actually, that's probably why the piss fetish thing is standing out so much -- most of us came here for a blushing new girl adjusting to her new life, which is pretty subtle a kink compared to urination. It'd be fine if the gender bender stuff was allowed to fall into the background, but cute squishy moe slice of life is pretty jarring when it's primarily broken up by pissing episodes. So it's like, you wanna shake the author and go "are we doing cute moe slice of life or fetish stuff? If the latter, can we get back to TSF at the very least? You can still have the piss, but at this point you're taking the piss"
But yeah. I suspect the "boku" here is meant to signal something. In real life it's actually pretty rare for a girl to use that pronoun compared to anime. ("jibun" is the IRL go-to for girls who want to use a non-feminine pronoun, even though jibun isn't technically a pronoun and using it that way is sorta grammatically incorrect though who really cares)
