It seems I missed the discussion about pedophilia but I will leave my two cents as a person who was abused as a kid by an adult, and as someone WHO READS this manga:
I totally despised this manga when it was first released and it annoyed me how people would feel "happy" about it or find if "endearing".
As a kid, you have no idea what the hell is happening and it is a pretty scary experience. Lots of people become suicidal because of it, the most damaged ones will commit suicide and others get self worth issues for the rest of their life. There is no way this is acceptable.
Now about Lolis, which are kids who are actively "seeking" this, AGAIN they have no friggin idea what it involves and any smart adult can figure that out and, like Mimika here, should restrain themselves ( a kid around Kaede's age tried to hit on me -adult in her 30s- once, it was the oddest thing ever and creepy too -.-; )
I read Yuzumori quite uncomfortably at first, almost in attack mode you could say, I am glad the author has made Mimika control herself and I am looking fwd to a time skip! Since this age difference isnt that big of a deal once you are over 20.
Tl;dr: Pedophilia is wrong no matter the circumstances.
