Umm... I guess this is working? Or something? (looks like an idiot)

I'm Koujira Jinbun, and this is my first few minutes as a registered user of Wikipedia. I'm gonna try to write a decent Toriko (the manga) article, because it's a shame that other much newer manga (some one about medieval doctors???) have a page and this amazing one doesn't.

wish me luck!

Toriko is a manga currently serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump since June 2008. It is set in an alternate world during the "Era of the Gourmet, the era of the discovery of unknown tastes." This world is filled with strange and delicious creatures, many of whom are quite dangerous. In order to satisfy the public's desire for new and exciting food, restaurants turn to companies of hunters. The titular character, Toriko, works for one such company, Bishoku-Ya (Luxury Food Provider).
