Mmmmm.

I hope it was a one time gag. BDSM is controversial already, we don't need the portrayal of subs and masochists as mentally ill on top of that.

It doesn't really make sense either since she didn't really have any yandere tendencies earlier, so the spiraling came out of left field.
She has been seen pushing the boundaries on their BDSM and going off the rails as Sawada mentions. Though her being yandere-ish is most likely the teenage hormones and the time apart working her anxieties. I'm hoping this is a singlular occurrence and they come out stronger as a couple.

What in the actual fuck. She needs genuine help. I thought the plot twist was him having a fever dream about her becoming yandere but nope.

Everyone here is acting like she’s a complete psycho who‘s gonna snap and kill him any second now, but honestly, this is barely outside of how I would expect stupid teenagers to act. The dude literally did not text her back for an entire week and offered no explanation as to why.

In high school, I knew guys that got screamed at dumped for not texting their girlfriends back within an hour. They’re teens. They’re overly emotional and react in stupidly Insane ways to almost everything, especially romance.
Sadly, MD comments are almost always doomist in cases like this. Understandable, we all read some negative shit.
But sometimes it's a bit too much lol

Anyway, the whole "gig" is obviously exagerated, in a chapter that screams weird from the very beginning:
it starts with Minezaki most likely doing something Sawada didn't expect and his reaction is most likely on the line of "cool, but turn it down a little bit", which could be the "beginning to Minezaki's negativity" (first weird point, bc I thought we skipped something...I even went back to previous chapters).
Let's add the fact that they couldn't make plans for a 3 day break and, to top it off, an entire week of no contact for the whole flu + toilet gig.
Now, I'm just speculating, but after all that, it might be possible that she fell into loneliness. That take us to the yandere gig which is weird asf, because never Minezaki was jealous of her friends...quite the opposite.
The weirdest part is indeed the last dialogue, with Sawada probably trying to over-satisfy Minezaki to "bring her back", but I have to admit that it came out super weird from a reader pov.

To sum it up, "weird" chapter but I'd still consider it a gig chapter and wouldn't read too much into it yet. The manga is doing a great job in narrating a bdsm relationship...I don't think author wants to fuck everything up after all that

Idk what all this talk is about fixing, this is just a normally functioning girl.
Yeah, finding this manga and finally catching up with it, I could say that this story is quite tame by BDSM standarts and it's surprisingly fluffier than a lot of more normal romance mangas. You need absolute trust in your partner and a lot of love for him to do this kinky shit. Trust is the safeguard and love... Well, you really need to love your partner to deliver some kinks that you may not enjoy at first.

Horimiya (more web comics than manga) briefly touches on this subject too, but Takane no Hana wa Midaresaki goes full speed ahead with the topic. And, IMO, in a good way.

i can imagine her bedridden crying hysterically because he had no way to contact her. after binging this series, i really hope it doesnt get a sudden axe, when the progress has been this slow. we have yet to: see his parents, see her parents, no one knows about them dating, no one knows about their kink, his sister only having a surface level understanding of their relationship, them meeting the other parents or even going to one anothers home. each of these things could take a volume or more by themselves. with as slow burn as this is, this could easily reach 200+ chapters. but if we get some bum rushed ending i will be fucking devastated. 10/10 i love this series.

I mean....do we really need all that?
Sure, sooner or later they will naturally come out to the "public" as a couple and meet each other parents if they want to take that step....but it doesn't feel necessary to have that "on screen".
It can all happen "in the background" while "only" keep showing their kinky sessions.
As already said a few times, this manga seems to look up to Nana to Kaoru, with some differences...but, iirc, even in that one "meeting with parents" was not a thing

"meeting with parents" was not a thing
it wasnt a thing because it was established in the first chapter they are childhood friends and they both know each others parent. just because they share a bdsm theme doesnt mean it was even a little bit inspired by nana. i mean did you even read nana? i wouldnt compare the 2 unless your strictly talking about the bdsm theme, because the 2 stories are nothing like each other.

And thank god they are different (imo)...
But to answer you: yes, I'm talking about the bdsm theme. As it is the focal point of the story.
The story of the relationship between 2 characters through bdsm.

And I'll repeat what I said in the previous answer: is it really necessary to get to the part where they come out as a couple to their friends and families? I don't think it's a slow pace just because of that missing. Maybe for you it is, but, personally, I enjoyed these 73 chapters of love, teasing and kinkiness. And I don't see any sign as to why the axe should fall on this one.
I could read another 100 chapters of them doing what they're doing now and as long as they're happy and reach "a conclusion", I wouldn't mind if they stayed in their little private world with nobody else knowing.

Doing BDSM in public like that is just too stupid. It’s such a stupid risk, it’s not just being caught, anyone who saw a woman being strangled would think “oh that woman is getting assaulted”.

You think someone will just walk away? He would never see her again.
I think that in Japan most people wouldn't want to get involved. It's not their business and they'd get involved with trouble if they interfered. Remember this is the same culture where the response to SA is "you brought it on yourself because you let your guard down".

You are wrong. And assuming a whole country thinks one way is just ignorant.
