How do I say, I usually really adore age gap tropes with an older, dependable seme so this is right up my alley. And yeah, it's a bit weird that Akari is still 16 but I didn't mind it much for two reasons. - The first is because Mizuki isn't pervy, in the sense that he isn't dating Akari specifically because he's a young highschooler which would've been creepy, instead he's dating a guy, Akari, whom he really likes, who just so happens to be 10 years younger. And the way he has insecurities and sees and accepts all of Akari's potential future growth is very mature. - The 2nd reason is because Akari is an extremely sensitive and fragile person who genuinely felt unloved. He's the type to crack under stress and needs a reliable partner who will be mature enough to go through a sincere relationship with him and stick around even when times get tough. Usually, those types of relationships need emotional maturity and aren't something that really happens between young highschoolers, so for Akari in particular, he truly did need an older, dependable partner to center him and become his home.
