History ImAHumanitarian / AnimeAndManga

* In Manga/ChainsawMan, [[spoiler:Denji uses the body of Makima as meat after defeating and butchering her. Subverted in that she's a Devil that just looks like a human, and not an actual human. Denji finds her meat to taste quite good, apparently, [[DoesNotLikeSpam although he becomes averse to eating meat after fully consuming her]]]].

* Kupffer cells in ''Manga/CellsAtWorkCodeBlack'' work as {{Belly Dancer}}s until a blood cell snuffs it on their watch. Then they have them brought into the back room, where they eat the corpse. While it's treated like a dirty secret, the process, called "apoptosis," is a part of the body's proper function, so it doesn't upset our protagonist when he chances to see it done.

* [[NightOfTheLivingMooks The Mariages]] from ''AudioPlay/StrikersSoundStageX'' were revealed to have some taste for human flesh when [[BigBad Jail Scaglietti]] mentioned that the associate of his that planned to use them on various worlds [[HoistByHisOwnPetard was devoured by the very soldiers he mass-produced]].
** Also, in the original series, Arf threatened to eat Nanoha to get her out of Fate's way. Given both [[HairOfGoldHeartOfGold Fate]] and [[NobleWolf Arf's]] personalities, it was almost certainly a bluff.

* ''LightNovel/FallingInLoveWithTheVillainess'': "Alice" (the avatar of the world) eats one of Rion's eyes (the blue one) and then replaces it with a different eye, so he can use all four elements.

* In Manga/ChainsawMan, [[spoiler:Denji uses the body of Makima as meat after defeating and butchering her. Subverted in that she's a Devil that just looks like a human, and not an actual human. Denji finds her meat to taste quite good, apparently, [[DoesNotLikeSpam although he becomes averse to eating meat after finishing her off]]]].

* In Manga/ChainsawMan, [[spoiler:Denji uses the body of Makima as meat after defeating an killing her. Denji likes that food, apparently]]

* Banica Conchita from ''LightNovel/EvilFoodEaterConchita'' becomes a cannibal after making a contract with the Demon of Gluttony to eat literally anything (her mother before her, suffering from the Gula disease that made her ravenously hungry, almost ate a servant before being killed.) In the ''Music/EvilliousChronicles'' franchise, cannibalism and eating meat in general is attached to the Demon of Gluttony as part of the sin.

* ''LightNovel/ACertainMagicalIndex'': Accelerator has been shown on two occasions absentmindedly chewing on a piece of someone he killed. He later comments that it's not really appetizing.

* Possibly the case with the Russian Sushi restaurant in ''LightNovel/{{Durarara}}'', although it's likely/hopefully just an urban legend. Simon is [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial oddly insistent]] that the sushi is made of fish, not people, but in a later episode threatens some thugs that if they don't stop beating someone, they will provide ingredients for the sushi.

* In ''LightNovel/SoImASpiderSoWhat'' the main character Kumoko becomes a spider monster known as a Taratect at the start of the story. These creatures are not only cannibalistic but will also consume humans or anything else they can catch. Feeling it only appropriate to base her own behavior off her species behavior, Kumoko begins doing both as well. However, she does not actively hunt humans and will even assist them under certain circumstances. If they attack her first, however, then they are lunch. She actual has moral compunctions about ''not'' eating anything she has killed.

* In ''LightNovel/SpiceAndWolf'', where Holo is, despite her tendency to stay in the form of [[LittleBitBeastly a 15 year old girl with a wolf's ears and tail]], actually a [[{{Yokai}} animal spirit]] in the form of [[CanisMajor a wolf roughly the size of an elephant]]. Lawrence, as he notes, has seen wolves eat humans, and early in the series asks Holo if she's ever done the same (she started it by joking about wolves eating people); Holo simply looks sad and refuses to answer. There are hints of her being willing to do it, especially if Lawrence is threatened (episode 6 of the first season hints at it happening when she attacks Chloe's thugs and she's about to finish off Chloe for all the trouble she's given them before Lawrence stops her, while near the end of season 1 Lawrence has a premonition of her eating Nora for trying to challenge her with Enek), but she doesn't seem to particularly enjoy it or want to do it.

** It doesn't stop there. The mothers [[spoiler:drink the blood of other patients and personnel every night]], first using piercing tools like braces and drills, then [[spoiler:[[BodyHorror mutated mosquito-like proboscises]]]]. And near the end, lots of people seem to think that [[spoiler:those affected by [[BalefulPolymorph the snail curse]]]] look mighty tasty...
