Is Light actually Misa's boyfriend?

No, Light never truly loved Misa; he only pretended to be her boyfriend to manipulate her and use her as a tool (specifically for her Shinigami Eyes) in his Kira plans, though Misa was genuinely infatuated with him and her devotion was the driving force for her actions, leading to her tragic suicide after Light's death. He saw her as a useful pawn, often getting annoyed by her, and their "relationship" was entirely one-sided and toxic, with Light using her to further his goals.
