主权项 1. A method for producing an electrostatic latent image developing toner including a plurality of toner particles that each include a toner core containing a binder resin and a release agent, and a shell layer covering the toner core, the method comprising the steps of: preparing the toner core; and forming the shell layer covering the toner core, wherein the step of preparing the toner core includes the sub-steps of: supplying a first unprocessed liquid containing binder resin fine particles and release agent fine particles, or a first unprocessed liquid containing fine particles including the binder resin and the release agent; supplying a second unprocessed liquid containing an aggregating agent; mixing the first unprocessed liquid and the second unprocessed liquid; and obtaining the toner core containing the binder resin and the release agent by aggregating the binder resin fine particles and the release agent fine particles or aggregating the fine particles including the binder resin and the release agent, the method comprising the step of preparing the toner core by using a microreactor, wherein the microreactor includes a fixed disk A and a rotary disk B, a first unprocessed liquid supply section, and one or more second unprocessed liquid supply sections, the fixed disk A and the rotary disk B are circular disks, arranged to have a space between circular surfaces of the fixed disk A and the rotary disk B during the step of preparing the toner core, the first unprocessed liquid supply section supplies the first unprocessed liquid to the space from an end of the space, and each second unprocessed liquid supply section is formed to penetrate through an upper surface and a lower surface of the fixed disk on one side of a center of the circular surface of the fixed disk opposite to the first unprocessed liquid supply section, and supplies the second unprocessed liquid to the space from an upper surface side of the fixed disk.
