PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electrostatic charge image developing toner excellent in fluidity, not causing image stain due to scattering even under severe service conditions, giving stable images because the lowering of halftone uniformity due to a buried additive is hardly caused, giving sharp images with few diffused fine dots because of a uniform electric charge distribution, having small environmental dependence and not causing trouble such as black spots to an image and free of the lowering of its fluidity and a change in its electrostatic chargeability, thereby ensuring high image density and no fog even when used in an image forming method and an image forming apparatus with an incorporated toner recycling system. SOLUTION: The electrostatic latent image developing toner obtained by adding an additive to colored particles consisting at least of a bonding resin and a colorant is characterized in that the additive is inorganic particles having a shape formed by bonding 6 to 500 fine particles in a chain or branched shape, wherein the bonds are covalent bonds. |
