The world's greatest detective, L, sits in an odd position, claiming it increases his reasoning abilities. Some people try to copy this, for cosplay or for everyday life, but if you find it hard, this is for you!
Steps
Keep your heels off the chair. You can rest them against the back of the chair if you want. The key with this position is balance.
Balance on the balls of your feet.Advertisement
Lean forward and put your weight on your thighs.- This can get tiring in the arch of your foot.
- If you do it wrong, it can cause your calves to tense.
Put your rear end on the chair, sliding your feet forward slightly. This is the most comfortable of L's positions, but not one he uses very often.
Focus your weight towards your middle. This position can make you tense, and you may want to only use this position while you rest your feet and legs.
Keep repeating the cycle, switching position whenever you feel uncomfortable.

Tips
- Have a few chairs that you use most of the time, if possible. You will find sitting like L hard in some chairs, as they may be too soft or may not have a back.Thanks
- If anyone asks you to sit normally, give them the excuse L uses: "I have to sit like this. If I sit normally, my deductive capabilities would immediately be reduced by roughly 40%."Thanks
- If you can't balance, or are on a bed, lean your butt against the heads board or wall next to it. If you are in a chair without a back, simply balance on the balls of your feet. This may take practice, because it is common to fall off, resulting in injuries if you fall.Thanks
Warnings
- Be aware you won't be able to sit like this in some places, like in a car, or at school or work. You could try using the second tip, but sometimes you will have to sit normally, whether it's because of a fussy teacher or boss, or if it's for your own safety.Thanks
