If all the adult characters of the game looked, let's say, "childish" too, or more chibi style for example, it wouldn't be shocking. But no, the adults in the game look so big and more "bara" in some cases than the kids.
Take Nagisa from Free as a sample. He's canonically an underage high school student who follows a cute little anime boy design. He looks smaller and childish than the rest, but still, you don't think he's 12. So the idea if you want your characters to look 18, they need as a minimum to look like Haru in body terms.
