Granted the plot after the Cooking Festival Arc was obviously rushed especially when it came too

collecting Acacia's full course but we all know who to blame for that

Strong start, weak end.

It's basically a tossed salad of Hunter x Hunter & Jojo's Bizarre Adventures/Fist of the North Star.

The series seems to be a parody of JUMP tropes.

Like Jonathan Joestar, Toriko has one of the worst zero-chemistry ass-pull marriages at the end of the series with a woman he met once & never saw again unil the last volume, which definitely pissed off all the fujoshis the series pulled in with the promise of a clam-free sausage fest full of male bonding & no romance. & for the bromance-blind target audience, it's still bad because the friendship dynamic changes between everyone.

As for Hunter x Hunter, this is what the series would have been like if it had focused on the two Gourmet Hunters in part 1.

The series could be pretty funny, but not to the degree of Onepunch Man or Gintama.

After the time skip, Komatsu gets an off-screen nose job that no one ever brings up, (Like how no one in Free Iwatobi Swim Club ever acknowledges Ren's filed teeth), & most of the side characters from part 1 are put on a bus & only show up as cameos. This is where I started losing interest in the series. I mean, they had their own goals & dreams, & their subplots were dropped & solved offscreen.

I never liked Komatsu. He was this unattractive little goblin with Gary Stu abilities, & the men flocked around him like he was the sexiest woman in town. He sure needed to be rescued an awful lot.

It really fell apart in the end.

Everything in this manga makes food seems so good and there are crazy powers to suit this crazy world.
Although it those rush at the end, it still a good meal to sit through

Keeping this on hold was a mistake

When toriko first came out, I decided not to read it, since the main character looked like a delinquent, art was very whacky and story seemed silly.

Now, after toriko reached more than 210 chapters, I started reading it and soon realized that it was some weird crossover between Dragonball and One Piece, 2 of my favorite mangas. And it even works.

Alot of fun to read

Don't know why there are so many 1 ratings but Toriko is alot of fun to read. The art reminds me of "Baki" while at the same time, not entirely looking like the art of Baki. Well, whatever the case, I can't wait for more.

It's an interesting, quirky manga, but not anything spectacular. It's solid, but not great. Still, it's worth a read if you have the time.

I gave it an 8 just because I love food and everything seems so delicious. Well, of course it does.

eh this was much better than that basket ball manga it came out with at the same time i gave both a 1 at the beginning cause it didn't meet my expectations and I'm still angry about mx0 being taken off for this and the basketball Manga. I'm so happy that dam basketball manga died but still disappointed that they killed mx0... this may not have replaced mx0 in my favorites but still its not bad

Gluttony over appreciation for food or cuisine

by b-factor
5 years ago

Rating: 3.0 / 10.0

I really hate the idea of great food in the manga comes 99.99999% from the "level" of the ingredients, rather than appreciation for the food or understanding of the food that you can make the best dishes out of it. The plot is rather predictable. The details are over the top, but not in a good way. The characters are one-dimensional, and you hardly see any character development throughout the length of the series.

I'm about to embark on the reading of TORIKO since It's been bugging me. I'm pretty sure that the person who wrote this was inspired by Hunter X Hunter (the gourmet hunter) and Oishii Ryouri (the anime, dno if there was a manga) will update once I have started reading.

Nice little shounen, but I don't think it deserves its place among 'The big three'. I certainly didn't get hooked up on it like I was for One Piece and (especially) Gintama<3. Maybe because of the basic concept of a food-centered manga. It seems to lack some depht, some epicness somehow.
But still, nice read.

Just a warning: Animal lovers, beware! This manga is not for you! XD
