Rin Asano (浅野 りん) is a Japanese manga artist.

Biography
Rin Asano was born on February 23. She was an assistant to manga Shōko Tsutsumi. Her real name is Noriko Asano (浅野倫子), which she used on her debut manga, "Virgin Road" (バージン・ロード), a short story included in a Dragon Quest manga anthology in 1991. Being published in the Dragon Quest anthology gave her the confidence to pursue a career as a mangaka. She and manga artist Chino Yukimiya became close friends through their work on the Dragon Quest yonkoma manga, and they remain friends today.

In 1992, her story "Ghost & Mother's Love" received an honorable mention at the third Enix Big Rookie Awards. "Problem House" (プロブレム・ハウス), her debut magazine story, was published in 1993 in the Fresh Gangan special issue of Monthly Shōnen Gangan. In 1995, Chôko Beast!! began running in Monthly Shōnen Gangan. This was her first extended series, ending in 1997 and was collected in four volumes. Beast & Beast: Rin Asano Short Story Collection was released that same year, and her series ''Pon! and Chimera also began serialization in Monthly Shōnen Gangan''.

Asano's next series, Pangaea, began serialization in Monthly Gangan Wing in 1999. A second collection of shorter works, Heisei Vampire Countrerattack: Rin Asano Works Collection, was published in 2000. ''Pon! and Chimera'' finished serialization in 2001, and the series was collected in seven volumes. Pangaea ended the following year with a total of five volumes, and new series, Tengai Retrogical, began serialization in Monthly Comic Blade.

In 2003, Pangaea Ezel began serialization in Comic Blade Masamune. The series was continued in the successor magazine, Monthly Comic Avarus, when Comic Blade Masamune was discontinued. A collection of artwork by Asano was released in Irofusi: Asano Rin Illustration Works in February 2004 from Mag Garden. In 2007, Tengai Retrogical ended its run with a total of seven volumes. She started her series Kyōrakuregion in 2008, initially serializing it in Comic Blade Brownie and later in Monthly Comic Blade.

She completed the Pangaea Ezel in 2011, with seven volumes collecting the series. Kyōrakuregion ended in 2013 with five collected volumes. The cooking magazine Minna no Shokutaku serialized Love, Meals, and Happy Days from 2015 to 2016, and it was collected in a single volume. She began releasing Deaimon in Young Ace in 2016, and the eleventh volume was released in May 2021. An anime series based on Deaimon was announced on April 20, 2021.
