I went through some of her twitter pics of earlier in the month. I can't really see any evidence of a pregnancy...

Yeah don't really think that she's pregnant either, even if she was it would barely be showing much and they would easily be able to hide it for now.
I'm sticking with she was fired for something.
Well of course they retire but this happened suddenly just days before a launch event.
And yes her sister is still with charm and she's a year older.
I thought that Yukari Nakai retired and disappeared.
?????????????????????????????????

Let's hope it's an April fool's joke.
This either means she is changing her artist name to work under a different label, or she really is retiring.
I can't believe it. The day has come...
It's possible they were shut down because they were official Charm Kids and Imouto twitters and blogs. I think her web presence could easily be resurrected by a new agency. Let's hope.
The break between Tomoe and CharmKids/Imouto was so sudden, one does get the impression that the company was displeased with Tomoe about something. Despite my earlier hypothesizing, it's probably not pregnancy but more likely either having a boyfriend (which means having sex; most Japanese teens are sexually active, and since Tomoe is 20, it would be unusual if she hadn't started by now) or getting caught dialoguing or negotiating with another talent agency or DVD production company. In her original blog post, she stressed that the separation was amicable, but the circumstances definitely seem to suggest otherwise. Unless she is truly determined to give up the idol life, which makes no sense, I think that after the formalities of ending the relationship with Imouto/Minisuka are completed, we will see her again under another label, such as Takeshobo. If that happens, there may be a few more awesome and daring DVD's down the road. The downside will be that we will no longer be getting our weekly Tomoe "fix" via Minisuka.
Latest pic. Maybe as an ordinary people. What do you think?

Most of them most likely are. All those goodnight tweets, the sun is shining tweets or selfies while laying on bed or during photoshoots are her tweets. She is free to do what she wants there. She probably has a guideline that she should tweet about those everyday things every now and then to keep the fans attached, but nothing more.
But all those "official tweets" about upcoming releases, promotion events, livestreams and stuff like that are most likely given by her company/management. I think social media is (was) part of her contract and therefore her management had big influence on it. That's what makes me think that way about her twitter deletion.
