I am extremely curious what's up about L's despair about the "L-chan" joke???

I really love this doujinshi! It's obvious that you've put a lot of thought and care into the plot, because it's about 90 percent plausible (hehe, actually it's 100% plausible, I just wanted to channel L for a minute).

Best surprise EVER!!! Or so it sounds. I'm glad it could brighten up your day. Although, I am sorry to hear about the maths exam. I'm not sure if you did better than expected on it, or whether it turned out to be a complete disaster, but I can tell you that maths is most certainly not my strong suit. So, I can relate to not having a good time with such exams.
Aaww, that's okay. I know not everyone is in a position to support me through Patreon, and that's fine. It's just there for anyone who is able to, but it doesn't diminish my appreciation for any of the support I receive here in the slightest. It all means a lot to me and I am eternally grateful for all the comments, favourites, watches, etc. The Patreon helps me out, of course, but I draw the comic because I love working on it and I love sharing it with everyone. Thank you for being so thoughtful~
Yes! I will do!

Aww they are so sweet - L being a teeeeeny bit jealous, and Light telling him that he'll be all his...
I'm really curious as to what L is up to. Does he want to deal with the watch issue first and he's afraid that if Light undresses he won't be able to focus?
Thanks again for the great update!!

..um, hello
so, i just joined deviantart yesterday solely for the purpose of keeping up to date with your comic. i can see from other comments as well that this is a very common theme (it's because you are such a good artist and writer ^^). anyway, i was extremely nervous to post this mega comment. despite everything this wall suggests, i'm not too fond of talking about myself; and i debated posting it for an unholy amount of time, but i somehow convinced myself to man up. warning, it's a legit novel. my sincerest apologies for what i'm about to put you through.
originally i was going to make this very much to-the-point so you wouldn't have to read through my nonsense, but i really felt like i could tell you my full story. not to start off on the wrong foot, but shipping characters in general usually isn't my cup of tea. in fact, i have never shipped any characters in the past (why am i telling you this nobody cares ) , however i still respect what people like and i think it's amazing that artists put so much effort into things they are passionate about to share with others who like it too. so, with that in mind, i only fairly recently finished watching death note. to cut to the chase, when i was watching the show i really didn't sense anything in terms of L or light possibly having feelings until the famous massage scene™, when i felt some kind of tension. i don't know what it was, but i felt it for sure and i was convinced for a few seconds that they might kiss until i realized that it wouldn't make sense for the plot. i may or may not have rewatched the entire series over-analyzing & looking for proof they could be a thing. (lord help me, red flag número uno.)
so, even after rewatching i still felt unsure. there was so many things L said about misa or other snippets that seemed to completely work against the pairing. i usually need to feel 110% confident in something to believe it could happen, and everything seemed to say that it would never work for them in my eyes . i know that not all people think like me and that sometimes they stand by a ship regardless, but i was bummed out by my conclusion, and on top of that i always feel a very strong sense of guilt and shame if i ship people for some reason, especially if they likely wouldn't work out. so, i convinced myself to just be satisfied with the show itself and that i should never have tried to ship anything in the first place. i would have dropped the whole notion like a hot potato until i gracefully stumbled upon your comic.
what can i say that hasn't already been said? your writing & art skills are beyond impressive, and the characters are so, well, in character that it honestly seems like the real deal. your comic seems like such a plausible way that the show could have gone, and it really helped me feel like light and L could have been together and i was frankly surprised how happy that made me. i can shamelessly say that i binge read your comic all in one night and i have reread it over and over again. this is the only ship-centered comic that i have ever enjoyed. if you really do plan on making it into a physical copy i would totally buy it. i'm awestruck that you can put yourself in each character's shoes so well, i've never seen fan writers/artists do this with such attention to detail and personality before.
so, for this page in specific, i had a bit of an idea surface about what L could be up to. i had thought back to the canon series and this comic when light had the dream about L and him being caught in the rain. i was thinking that, well, maybe L wanted light to take a shower with him?(now i'm so embarassed aaa ) my reasoning behind this is that it would tie back to the rain scene, but instead of representing a farewell and be filled with unspoken words, it would symbolize a new beginning, and it would be happy and full of love (i'm such a cheesy loser, haha) also, light had tea spilled on his shirt anyway, so maybe L could use that as a lame excuse (that light would see right through but go along with). to be fair, it does seem like a very long shot from what could happen, but it suddenly came to me and i could envision it so well, along with how it tied into the other things. whatever does happen, i am all for it because you never cease to amaze me with this comic.
so, before i finally stop typing, i just wanted to kindly remind you to always prioritize yourself over stressing about this comic. it's very true that you have a bunch of fans that really like your story, and since you are such a lovely person i know that it's probably always in the back of your mind nagging you. just remember that we wouldn't even have the comic if it weren't for you, and we won't if you overwork yourself or start feeling down. everyone else and i all care about you and we want you to stay healthy and in a positive mindset. i know that there is a lot of pressure as the artist, but always remember that it is okay to take a break from this and chill out as well. we will be gladly waiting as usual. again, i just wanted to say thanks for making this comic and for helping me feel not as guilty for pairing people. i've never felt this way before and i'm very excited for the next page, whenever it may be ready! thank you so much, shaami

Hello!
I know you said that you were nervous about commenting, but I am so grateful that you did! I read your very long comment when you posted it and it made me so happy. I love reading long comments. I'm nowhere near the quickest at replying to them, but that's because I refuse to give them any less than my absolute undivided attention in order the reply they deserve. And that's exactly what I'm going to do for you now.
Please don't apologise at all for taking the time to comment. Having comments is one of my favourite things about sharing my comic here on DeviantART because it gives me this connection to you and all the other readings who have joined me on my long journey. Thank you so much for joining the site just to be able to follow along and keep up to date with my comic. It means the world to me whenever I hear that.
I appreciate you telling me a little bit about yourself, too. It was interesting to read your viewpoint on shipping, seeing how it differed from my own, and how through my storytelling, L and Light have almost become the exception to your usual standpoint. That's amazing to me.
As I think I have said to many people in discussions here before, I've never set out to change people's minds or to force my opinions onto anyone about this ship. I'm just having fun creating a comic that I love and telling the story it in a way that I personally enjoy. Somehow, that seems to resonate with a lot of other people, even when they hadn't previously shipped Light and L together, or there are even some who have not previously liked Light. It's cool when this happens, but it's certainly never been the driving force behind what I'm doing here. So, it's always a pleasant surprise and your comment was no exception. It honestly made my day!
I would love to make it into a physical book! I've said so in the past, and so once it is complete, it's something I will definitely look into.
Now, probably the thing that stood out the most when reading your comment was your theory about what L was up to. I wondered if you might have been reading my mind! What you said isn't exactly the same as the idea I have planned, but pretty damn close! I was surprised that anyone would've followed the same train of thought as me because I wasn't making anything that obvious. Well done to you and your detective skills!
Thank you so so soooo much! You've left me with such kind words and I have taken them to heart. I will keep doing my best to listen to you and everyone else about taking time for myself and not stressing out too much. Admittedly, it can be hard at times, but I just have to look to my lovely comments here to remind myself that I have everyone's support. I'm so happy that you decided to join and be here. Also, really happy that I could help you in turn just by making this comic exist. Thank you again! And welcome to the family, bubblegum-bee! (I really like your avatar, too! I could watch it all day!)

I'm glad!!
every single time I'll stop shipping them as much and focus on other pairings and then I'll be drawn back every time you have a new page and I love them all over again.
And agreed. they have been adorable especially in the recent pages.

I'd like to say he wants to get rid of Light's clothes himself but... ah well, I'm not sure, I have the feeling I might not see the obvious reason. But I'm looking forward to find out. For now, great chapter and so quick as well. Timing is just perfect, I've had right now a few free minutes to spare before I'm back at backing and packing my stuff for the move. *sighs*
Anyway, I love this new chapter, but I have to admit, for once I had a little bit of trouble to read the first panel on the left side. I was not entirely sure what might be the right order. But I think that's just me, I'm simply sometimes confused like that. Otherwise, this page was wonderful, I love their interaction so, so much.
Sincerely

I haven't made the reason at all obvious, so I wasn't expecting anyone to guess it. For me, it's just very fun to see what conclusions others come to based on what they know so far and what clues I've possibly left along the way. And hopefully, it's just as much fun for everyone taking part in the guessing game.
I hope your move has gone well. I remember reading your reply about starting work at a new company and that meant moving back to your childhood town, but you were worried about finding a new flat in time. I know you were feeling stressed at the time. Moving is quite possibly one of the most stressful things to deal with, and so, I really hope that you're over the worst the of all that and things have started to settle down for you.
I'm sorry for the confusion over the dialogue order. It's not going to be just you that will be confused by it. I sometimes wonder if everyone will be able to follow the order. Usually, it's about me trying to fit it all in without obscuring too much of the image. In the case of that first panel, it's all the left-hand side bubbles first, then the right-hand ones. But, I don't blame you for getting confused. I try to keep the bubbles following a simple flow, but there are times when it has been challenging. The dialogue often goes through a lot of changes to make it fit the characters as well as the panels.
Thank you so much as always!
