Now this was a good chapter with a sweet ending. Rentarou didn't go cray-cray for once and stood up for Shizuka when she really needed it the most. I hope I could be like that if I ever had a girlfriend. Then again, I'm more like a repellant hah

 

[forecast]

quick resolve, Thank you for that.

Chadtaro going to bat for his girl!

Rentarou showing us once again why he is best boy

Mangaka reminding us he can write chapters around single Heroinse from time to time is the best.
This mangaka has to be a genius for making this idea this good

Have you ever seen a grown, productive member of society talk through a text-to-speech app?

was her mother really wrong though? Certainly how she approached the topic, but I can’t deny her intentions.

tl;dr: these last two chapters are a little too heavy for a fun harem series

I'm sorry, but like I said the last chapter, her mother has a point. And obviously, abusing your child is a no-no.
It's not like she's retarded or anything (although severely lacks practice with talking because... she doesn't), and tbh, Rentarou/Rentarou's family are all just enabling her at this point. It's only tolerable in anime/manga, but not really in real life.
Again, cute and quirky anime traits are usually easy to "don't think about it too much it's cute/anime", but the author turned it into a serious issue with the talk and the um, abuse. 100 Girlfriends is a usually lighthearted series, which is why I found these recent chapters with Shizuka jarring and why I dislike them.

Not to mention that:

• Her mother has very valid fears for her future, although she did it the wrong way and actually made it worse, if not at least stalled Shizuka.
• Rentarou: "So what if she's not very good at speaking?!" Um, she's way WAY worse than "not good" at speaking my dude.
• Unironically, Rentarou did most of the talking for her.
• And then... the chapter just ends with all of them still enabling her. I guess her mom being a little less strict/abusive would help Shizuka, but now it just makes Rentarou look like he doesn't want to help Shizuka become better.

what a good resolution, just what I'd expect from this series

Her intentions were good, but she was ignoring her for it.

 

[Grailm]

Honestly unless she has a legit reason that she can't speak like Tourette's or something. Enabling her with this text-to-speech device is not good.

I mean sure but also None of Rentaro's family will logically have to worry about money ever cause two members, possibly three, are fucking billionaires and thus money will never be an issue.

drama? in my gag manga?????

If Shizuka's case were a real situation, then most definitely a text-to-speech device would have contributed negatively to her development and well-being. On the other hand, the way the mother was doing it was, at best, giving mixed signals; [to speak normally is good] was mixed with [to speak normally is to punish/harm]. She's already at the age where she (1) understands that her situation is not normal, and (2) has a desire for self-expression. At the very least, rather than consistently scolding her about it (or giving her a text-to-speech device), she ought to be encouraged to be able to speak normally, step-by-step. (Her relationship with Rentarou could have even helped her in this case, but the author, of course, wouldn't want her quirk to go away.)

Lovely chapter, it gave something fresh. More serious tone isn’t bad, I just hope the manga keeps giving us variety.
