Was it really एल who ran up and hugged Naomi Misora at the end of the book?

I'm pretty sure it was...he does go to the "outside" world sometimes. ^_^

I think it was him, maybe he was trying to thank her. XDD, and also to see for himself her capoeira

Yeah. B was in jail. How could it have been him? And plus why would he hug her even if he wasn't in jail? He only used her as a way to get to L.

Yea, it really was L. I read the book several times and I own it. He only calls himself Ryuuzaki because it was him that defeated Beyond Birthday, A.K.A, Rue Ryuuzaki. When he defeats someone, he claims their detective codes, that is the same way that he ended up with the names Eraldo Coil and Deneuve

it may not seem like him` but एल has some feelings 4 misora.... so, yeah, that was him.

Yes the writer कहा himself that एल was indeed the one that hugged Naomi.
