In the manga Death Note, when Misa meets L for the first time, she has the
shinigami eyes, so she must be seeing L's lifespan at the moment. L dies a few
volumes later, so couldn't Misa have alerted Kira that L was about to die, and
it wasn't worth much trouble?

Is this a flaw in the manga?

It might also be the case that since L was killed by a shinigami itself, the
lifespan Misa saw with her shinigami eyes didn't account for that death.

Which of these possibilities is correct?

Couldn't Misa have told Kira L's life span?


L was killed by a Death Note (Rem's). When someone is killed by a Shinigami's
Death Note, the remaining life span is added to the Shinigami's life. This
means the life span seen using the Shinigami eyes doesn't account for deaths
caused by the Death Note (since that difference is added to their life). The
important part of what the Shinigami eyes does for Misa is that she can see
L's real name.
