I *knew* you were going to do a brilliant job with this. Your character insight and analysis of the relationship is amazing. Love the part about the contrast between "good Raito" and "Kira," and the contrast of the appearances of the two characters (L looking monstrous and Kira being the *real* monster).
And damn, I didn't even pick up on the tennis game scene being a parody of Tenipuri. Shows you that the mangakas know *exactly* who their audience is, and it's *not* the 12-year-old boys who allegedly read that magazine. (What a joke -- Bishounen Hump has produced more yaoiriffic series than *any* shoujo magazine except BeXBoy).
