Toriko #43

Volume 43 of Mitsutoshi Shimabukuro's Toriko puts its iconic duo front and center — the towering, blue-haired Toriko dwarfs his young companion Komatsu as both stand loaded with travel packs against a vivid, otherworldly landscape of rust-red earth and pink blossoms. The contrast between the hulking Gourmet Hunter and the diminutive chef speaks volumes about the adventurous partnership at the heart of this long-running Shōnen Jump series. Published by Kazé in 2018, this penultimate stretch of the saga promises the kind of grand culinary adventure that has made Toriko a standout of the genre.
