Well that was part of her complex to begin with -- she was short/young looking for her age. Presumably she's a late starter to puberty and Tetsu already had a growth spurt. But yes I agree she should have looked at least a little bit older even if she was short. Maybe it's just the art style.
I don't think Karada looks that young as an adult. She certainly isn't 28 like Hiro, or even maybe 24 like Shouko was. Karada now looks around 20-22 to me, and she probably is just naturally short. Tetsu looks rather tall for his age by comparison.
PS: Have you noticed how Shouko and Karada's personalities have subtlety changed over the last couple episodes? Shouko is a lot more friendly now, and Karada is falling into a more adult/motherly attitude. She frequently reminds Shouko about certain things. Although I suppose she might be used to acting that way for Hiro, since he seems kinda unreliable LOL...
