Synopsis

Hunters are a special breed, dedicated to tracking down treasures, magical beasts, and even other men. But such pursuits require a license, and less than one in a hundred thousand can pass the grueling qualification exam. Those who do pass gain access to restricted areas, amazing stores of information, and the right to call themselves Hunters.

This my favorite manga of all time so i may be a little biased when it comes to this review. I love every work that yoshihiro togashi puts out! I'm not exactly sure what a typical shounen is so i'll just start by saying that it starts out with a boy named gon freecs going on the most challengeing hunt of his life, to find his elusive hunter father. And the story shows his development as a hunter throughout,
story 9/10
I give the story a 9 because the first 12 or so volumes had a great story and a lot character devolopment with the 4 main read more

User Recommendations

Both mangas have hunter concepts, but in Toriko the chars only hunting food. Also the world and the animals look similar.
They both center around (for the most part) a 12 year old boy with an iron will, both characters sharing characteristics you'd find in the shounen hero trope with rather endearing qualities added to the mix. Both feature relatively complex energy systems the fights consume of, and a Exam Arc (Interesting spins of the typical shounen Tournament Arc) that share many similarities with one another.
