So let this be a lesson, self! DO NOT LOOK AT TORIKO SPOILERS.
Um, more after the break. And in case you missed it — YES SPOILERS. YOU PROBABLY DO NOT WANT TO KNOW. *sighs*
It better be a hoax. XD I mean, the fandom has had two weeks, so it could be one, I think. But then again …. in a world where there are walking roast pigs running around, this should not be so surprising.
I blame the fact that there hasn’t been a chapter in a while for this total lack of self control on my part. Context could’ve definitely made it better, but I think nothing beats the initial reaction of WTF?!
If the pics are real, all I can say about the pictures that surfaced is that Shimabukaro really likes trolling us all.
Because …. really, Shimabukaro? REALLY?! There are some things I could’ve gone on without ever seeing.

Oh Komatsu. Oh Coco. Oh why oh why?! XD (I tried to flip the photos, but to no avail. Ah well. I was tilting my head out of sheer bewilderment anyway).
Actually, I’m snickering my buns off because yeah, obviously the mangaka is having a poke at himself and the genre. And I notice that Komatsu has, yes, busted out of his shirt and Coco apparently wears spandex *snortles*. One of these days I’ll have to do a busted shirt count … but I think it’s the first time for Komatsu.
I doubt this’ll be permanent but even the slight possibility makes me shudder. XD It’ll be awhile before THAT image leaves my poor scarred brain.
Anyway, source is from Anime Pro Destiny. There are two more pics, but I think I got the best ones. XD Toriko looks so confused.
Now to wait for the scanlation (cheers them on) so that I can see just what is going on!
