Toriko #2

Volume 2 of Mitsutoshi Shimabukuro's Toriko brings the food-adventure manga's wild energy front and center, with a self-assured young man in a green turban and red gloves cradling what appears to be a prized dish, while an excited companion grins in the background. Published by Kazé as part of the Shōnen Jump Manga line, this 2011 French-edition volume captures the series' blend of culinary passion and larger-than-life personality in a single compelling image. If this cover is any indication, the hunt for extraordinary ingredients is well underway.
