This is certainly a novel concept, L/Misa, and while I don't personally ship it, I think you've presented an interesting essay on the two of them. I certainly could support L having some kind of social-misfit crush on the cool popular girl -- even if he does seem to obsess more on the fact that she may be the second Kira than he does on wanting to actually date her himself -- but for me it's a stretch to imagine her with more than a passing interest in L, since she is so utterly consumed with Light-Kira.
You're absolutely correct that this series deserves all the attention it receives; I love the manga, and actually think that for once the anime is even better than the source material. The voice acting is superb, the art moody and dramatic, and the story compelling. Now I want to see the live action movie!
