What is the best shonen series, and why is it Toriko?

What is the best shonen series, and why is it Toriko?

If you said this maybe two years ago you might have a case. But not with how Toriko is now.

FUCK YOU FOR RUINED DRAGONBALL AND FORCE SHOVING TO OUR THREAT

FUCK YOU TORISHIT

Toriko needs to end and Shima needs to start a horror manga. The NEO chapter is the best example why.

this. I thought toriko was selling well. why the fuck is the ending being rushed?

Even if Toriko was at 100% like the Cooking Festival it still doesn't come close to One Piece and HxH

It had its moment but it's over boys, Jirou was the last enjoyable thing we had from this manga

Cooking festival was literally better than most of the OP arcs and the only one I'd day that competes with it is Sabaody.

I'd probably still give it to cooking festival since the art and gore was a lot more enjoyable.

Every arc in Toriko has been more enjoyable than wan piss though.

Toriko was at 100% back before Cooking Temple, when it had a lot of smaller arcs, i'll agree it went to shit after Cooking Festival though.

>You'll never have another chapter starting with Toriko eating delicious looking food at a restaraunt

>Another Toriko thread
Let it die peacefully. Nothing went right when it mattered.

>I thought toriko was selling well.

For a series that was expected to sell dragon ball and one piece level, it's not (toriko only sold those numbers in it's first and a half year after the anime but tanked afterwards.).

>toriko only sold those numbers in it's first and a half year after the anime
It sold less than 500k even at its peak, that's nowhere near Bleach level, not even D.Gray-man or Reborn level.

I should have specified Merchandise.

Toriko sold about $20 million in merchandise in 2012.

This pacing is the best thing that ever happened to Toriko.

Toriko is missing so much, of course it never sold well. But now at least it has the distinction of being the most bat-shit insane power creeping rushed manga out there which makes it interesting and enjoyable.

But rushing Don Slime, Jirou and Midora's battle was a big bullshit.

I remember the show being more food porny and delicious than the manga.

I only watched the english dubs btw.

I'm up to the four beasts arc in the manga, and it's getting too fantasy/supernatural for me.

Toriko is shit. Literally worse than Bleach, because at least Bleach was good at the beginning.

Man, Toei really fucked up what otherwise would have been a great anime. Fucking censorship and fucking bad animation.
Also, the manga turned into a mess when the gourmet world arc started. The pace was a total disaster.

Monkey sperm.

The art is underrated.

This.

That NEO chapter was Junji Ito tier.

>Shounen
>A genre

Try again OP. The best Shounen fighting/battle manga is still Fist of the North Star, it will always be Fist of the North Star.
