Toriko #12

Everyone has finished healing at the country named “Life”, including a really incredible “healing” sequence for Toriko. It's ridiculous but it has its charms, just like all the “natural healing” ideas presented. I guess it was also a necessary time-skip of sorts to give Komatsu the time he needs to do his thing. This was one of funnier and lighter moments in the anime that I remember enjoying. Especially with the follow-up arc of the Ozone Herb. This is also the beginning of Toriko's “training regime” as laid out by the IGO president, who gets introduced in this volume, along with the leader of the bishoukukai. And a bit more is revealed that there is an overarching plot surrounding the “God” ingredient.
