Toriko is a very, very AWESOME manga. If you like action, adventure and shounen, then Toriko is a perfect series for you! These are the two reasons why people don't give toriko a chance:

1. It's about food.
2. It's a copy of DBZ.

Both of these statements are dead wrong!! First of all when I read toriko, its not the food I think about, it's the awesome fast paced FIGHTS!!! Food is just an ongoing theme, that Toriko has, but when you read Toriko you will forget all about that, and get caught up in an awesome adventure!!... And when I mean caught up I mean caught up... you will sometimes find your self reading 30-40 chapters in one day!!!.

Toriko is NOT a rip off of DBZ... GOT THAT!! Please tell me ONE shounen manga where you do not see any similarities to DBZ where do you think Naruto got the ressangon!?!?!

Its an awesome adventure series, that any shounen fan can enjoy!!! Give it a chance, you wont regret it. Overall rating: 9/10 :D
