Rio Miyaichi is one of the main characters of the 2014 manga Ana Satsujin. The protagonist, Kurosu-kun, an unemployed college dropout first observes Rio after a failed attempt to hang himself pulls a hook out of the wall and makes a small hole. Kurosu sees into Rio's apartment, and spends several days peeping on Rio, until he witnesses an attempted rape ending in Rio killing her would-be attacker with a boxcutter. Kurosu is literally knocked unconcious by the shock of witnessing the incident, but later goes over Rio's apartment to see if she is OK. He greets Kurosu warmly and cooks for him. Over time, Kurosu and Rio grow closer. In this period of time, Kurosu discovers that Rio is a serial killer, regularly luring men into her home with promises of sex, then sedating, murdering, dismembering them with a boxcutter. Rio later discovers Kurosu has been spying on her, but does not kill him, instead seeing him as the only person who accepts her for who she really is. Kurosu and Rio become a couple. On a date with Kurosu at a baseball game, Rio states that killing comes as naturally to her as living itself, and that, as a rule, she only targets criminals. It is strongly implied that Rio cooks and eats her victims after killing them.
