Toriko. Toriko is a series about ridiculously manly men hunting ridiculously manly beasts to make ridiculously manly food. The story follows the elite food-hunter Toriko and his foil/gourmet chef Komatsu (whose job it is to go WHOOOOOAAAAAA at Toriko at least three times a chapter) as he takes jobs for hotels that demand ever more-delicious meals while trying to complete the ultimate Ten-Course Meal. The series is a great beleiver in the theory of the Ever-Escalating Shounen Arms Race. See that crocodile has a capture level of five? There are 34 chapters up and the highest capture level of a monster so far is like fifty. Yeah. THE PITCH:  THE HERO:  THE INGREDIENTS OH poo poo TORIKO LOOK OUT    Toriko is a series about tearing the head off giagantic animals with approximately a billion teeth and then eating food so good it makes you cry. Enjoy. Pierson fucked around with this message at Feb 20, 2009 around 11:12 |

Don't read this manga if you are bulimic. The eating sections are probably enough to make you want to throw up, due to all the overeating and excess gluttony. I really like this series. They eat so goddamn much.

Pierson posted:Toriko focusses less on how amazing the food is and more on how amazing the heroes/animals are. Of course the food is still amazing though. I'm sure that food so good it'll send you to heaven will be a plot point later on. Perhaps it's what the villain is truly seeking.

I wonder what would happen if kuroyanagi ate a fruit whose a single drop of its juice is concentrated enough to make an olympic pool full of water into a pool of thick juice, and the juice tastes like a combination of every fruit in existence.

I wish they cleaned up the scans better/ using better fonts, but Toriko does own. It's a silly rear end manga. Also Akumetsu reads it. Zorak fucked around with this message at Jan 27, 2009 around 18:33 |

I love Toriko. I too have often wondered what the ecology of One Piece would taste like if only it could be subdued in the manliest way possible.   Seriously though, this is the most shounen cooking series I've ever read; only Iron Wok Jan comes close for sheer spectacle.

This manga is crazy, but I find the idea of hunting incredibly rare animals for rich people to eat sort of offensive. If they are rare then they are presumably easy to hunt into extinction. But then, Japan still hunts whales for science!

I really recomend this series, it does have a very deep plot or serious dramtic tension, but what it does have is sheer over the top monsters, battles, and foods eating that you cant but help enjoy. The two best ways I can describe it is A) Remeber when Goku or Luffy punched a giant creatures lights out then ate it, this is a series soley dedicated to that concept and B) Take a character like Kenpachi from Bleach or Ogre Hanma from Grappler Baki and replace their appetite for combat with just pure appetite but keep everything else, that is Toriko.

I'll sum the manga up: "Toriko is like Jojo's Bizarre adventure, but about food."

No you see, it's okay because no NORMAL person could ever kill them, so ultimate Gormets like Toriko are nature's way of balancing out the system Also a lot of these ULTRA RARE animals are raised in enclosures/ cloned apparently!

chapter 28 spoilers Is http://www.onemanga.com/Toriko/28/16/ implying that Toriko was genetically engineered to be a superhuman hunting badass? Since chain animal was the term for artificially created species

Thing is, I don't think that it's *this* Toriko. Akumetsu ran from 2002 to 2006. This series started in May 2008. That said, this is still a good series, even with the hilarious scaling.

I started reading some of this manga because of Akumetsu. It's completely absurd. . .

Looks like each of the heavenly kings specializes in a particular sense. Toriko-Smell, Coco-Sight, Sani-Touch. I guess that last guy should be hearing, cos taste should be something all of them are already excellent in.

In celebration of the absurd manliness of this manga, and the honest pursuit of delicious meats, I propose a future thread-title. Toriko - You're Already Fed

can't we just post the entire first chapter since it's so incredibly manly? the expressions on the little guy alone are worth the read, nevermind the eating sections.

This looks potentially awesome. The first page (or so) has giant crab meat trees. If they can top that, and I'm sure they will, I will be happy. Conversely, I hate messy eaters, so that might be tough.
