Imaginative characters, locales, and animals are highlights of these two series. Both are fun to read due to the creativity of the authors.

Toriko story is about hunting like in hunter x hunter but toriko focus only hunting for food. Toriko has great characters with wierd and unique fighting techniques like in hunter x hunter.

deals with food in a unique way 
reportRecommended by MasterElvis
The overall aching feel of Toriko is akin to that of Dragon Ball. In these two publications, characters are portrayed with having bulky bodies, fighting techniques are unique and varied, and there is a collection element in regard to the plot.

Both are fantasy setups about cooking monsters. While Dungeon Meshi is in a dungeon Toriko is in a open world.

These manga feature similar concepts of eating your opponents with their gritty style combat. This is more expressed during the Pickle Arc of Baki: Son of Ogre where it centers on a revived caveman named Pickle who fought and ate dinosaurs.

Both have manly heroes fighting the forces of evil. Kinnikuman utilizes wrestling as their style while Toriko features food themed attacks. While these manga can be outrageous at times they do contain gritty elements as the story progresses. The humor can be childish(especially in Kinnikuman) but manages to pull through with epic moments and features a diverse cast of characters.

In short, Toriko & Fist of The North Star contain very manly heroes with multiple battles against heartless villains. Toriko hass more variety due to multiple super powers with its food and animal based theme. Fist of The North Star is the more tragic of the two diving into an apocalyptic hell where a man battles against his kin. Toriko contains several references to Fist of The North Star which are: 1. The 4 Heavenly Kings are adopted "siblings" while Hokuto no Ken also has 4 brothers. 2. The characters Toriko, Zebra & Coco are inspired by Kenshiro, Raoh & Toki. 3. Both series were stricken by  read more

Bakudan's main character, Baku Ryosuke, and Toriko's Zebra are both based on Raoh from Fist of The North Star. Bakudan is about pursuing a boxing career whose main lead seems like a molding of both Raoh and Zebra in both looks and personality. While Toriko is a more traditional shonen of fighting villains with a food theme, it does have appealing characters such as Toriko and Zebra. Zebra's personality is very similar to Baku so if you're looking for a story centered on a Zebra-like character, read Bakudan.

Both series follow the adventure of buff dudes beating the absolute shit out of their opponents. Both are manly and can both be very bizarre at times. 
reportRecommended by Chain_Sumeragi
Both series have extremely similarity of having fantasy elements in an adventure manga, set in a world where individuals have to navigate and encounter legendary and formidable entities to progress the overarching goal.

Title Characters Some settings

Title: Protagonist name Beast characters and some settings are almost same. In short, Toriko is the upgraded version of Naruto 
reportRecommended by Jorpsye
Both series have rich world building, cool survival/hunting aspects, loveable characters and humor. They are different in a lot of ways but both are excellent adventure series. GK is a seinen

Although both series comes with contrasting settings, the usage of food as a gimmick is prominent for Toriko and Hell's Kitchen. The main male protagonist from both series are also daring and not afraid to take risks; although their approach to obstacles are different. Hell's Kitchen has more of an aristocrat atmosphere while Toriko adapts an adventurous tone. Despite that, both series are known to employ conflicts with a shounen style of competition.

Despite taking place in different settings, Beelzebub and Toriko are two series that presents their action in an interactive way. The main male protagonist from both series are tough and is never afraid to back down from a challenge. Their interactions with various characters brings the best out of them. Comedy is also present throughout both series with colorful dialogues. At the same time, there are also mysteries regarding a separate world that exist in both series. And throughout the course of their perspective stories, Beelzebub and Toriko stay true to their premise to explore all its potentials.

Both feature manly characters, interesting and unique themes, and a great sense of comedy.  
reportRecommended by Otawan
Both are shonen adventures, that revolve around finding wonderous and rare objects (animals in Toriko and minerals in Metallica Metaluca). I enjoy Toriko more because of the intense action, but M.M. just started, so lets just see

Monster Hunter Orage by Hiro Mashima uses the same formula as Toriko, but in different aspects. What closes the relationship is the whole Monster Hunting ordeal and using the monsters parts for their own liking. For Toriko, they hunt monsters for food. For Monster Hunter Orage, its for items and upgrading weapons. They have a same idea with the monsters and levels, but different aspects. If you like monster hunting in Toriko, you might want to check this out.

Somehow the main guy character in both manga resemble each other, their character designs and the way they act: Kind, honourable, compassionate and so on. Difference is Toriko focuses on food aside from fighting, but Kongou Banchou is more of a fighting over territory manga. 
reportRecommended by Dunkjoe
They are completely different in plot and idea. However both of them being a shounen manga and the implementation, which is shown in rather peculiar way, makes them a good read.  
reportRecommended by Kanorin
Toriko is like a more violent and mature version of Fairy Tail. Both feature weird looking characters with even weirder characteristics. Also, both have lots of fantastic animals and are shounen battlemangas.  
reportRecommended by Sleezy
They both focus a lot in food and ingredients, giving a lot of importance to the way to cook them, but also to the joy of eat them. Although ingredients in Toriko come from fantasy creatures.

Battle shounen in a wild world with awesome level of details for the monsters. 
reportRecommended by BlindNoldor
Toriko and Magi follows the style of an adventure themed series. Both main male protagonist are eager to explore and conquer/search/hunt important things in their lives. And because both series takes place in a fantasy world, expect otherwordly events that defies the law of nature. Both series has character relationships that develops over time whether it'd be apprenticeship, friendship, or rivalries. There is a great deal of action from both series and world building in Magi as well to fully take advantage of their potentials.
