I assume the MC being a middle schooler this time around was due to Japanese sensibilities and how they really like their stories of youth.
Considering it's likely that it'll take a romantic turn down the line, I wouldn't be surprised if it was also done to escape any lolicon allegations further on.
That being said, I preferred the MC being an adult, because the size difference really drove home just how cute Miss Evil Dragon was, giving her tinyness, cuteness and must-protect-daughter-ness a far stronger impression. Plus, chuunibyou middle school MCs are really overhashed nowadays, and the original was really starting to come into its own as far as the plot was going.
I've got high hopes for Tomato, but the original will always hold a special place in my heart.
RIP my goat Youta you will be missed.
