Ill-Suited



Ill-Suited (不適当な, Futekitōna) is the third chapter of Volume six and 46th chapter overall.

Plot
The Yotsuba group is having an emergency meeting after Coil has sent them a report saying that Misa Amane may know who L is. They decide to ask Misa to be in one of their commercial so that they can interview her about L. In addition, they call Coil and demand that he conduct the interview himself. Coil agrees but for a hefty price.

The Yotsuba member who is Kira is busy writing the names of criminals into the Death Note. He concludes that Misa was the Second Kira who gave up ownership of the notebook in order to lose all of her memories. He says that after he talks to Misa about L’s identiy, he will kill L and then marry Misa. Rem is shocked to hear this and decides to take matters into her own hands by tearing a piece of paper from the Death Note

Misa meets with the Yotsuba members and Coil, who is Aiber in disguise. Coil goes straight to the point and asks Misa if she looks up to Kira because he killed the burglar that murdered her parents. Misa denies it, but Coil then confronts with the fact that she said she came to Tokyo in order to meet Kira. Misa again denies this, however Coil pressures her to admit that she has been apprehended by L. She tells them that she was blindfolded and only heard his voice.

After a while, the group takes a bathroom break. Misa is alone in the ladies’ restroom until Rem touches Misa with a piece of the Death Note and covers her mouth so that she won’t scream at the sight of a Shinigami.

Conception
Ohba said the chapter's title "Ill-Suited" refers to Mogi's comment about not being well-suited to his new role. Ohba said he had considered making the chapter title a reference to the reunion between Misa and Rem, Ohba instead opted for "Ill-Suited" as he believed it was more humorous.
