I like Rentarou, but Rentarou did most of the talking for her. The two chapters could've ended with better character growth for Shizuka if she's the one who spoke up instead of Rentarou.Shizuka's character development wasn't stoled, wtf. If you interpret it events as stunting her growth, then it's factually incorrect, it shown right in that chapter, both her voice usage and relationship with her mom got improved.
I know Shizuka is always gonna be the character that "'talks' through phone/text" because anime trope, but this is one of those instances that not sticking to that trope and her speaking up for herself at this important moment in her life would've told a better story. Would've been beautiful to see her grow on her own terms and truly earn her mom's approval and love, but it's sad we didn't get to see that.
Even if she didn't use her real voice and talked through the app (or used Rentarou's phone or something) instead, that is still loads better than Rentarou just talking for her.
