A toner or two-component developer is obtained by mixing, aggregating, and heating resin particles, colorant particles, and wax particles in an aqueous medium. A gel permeation chromatography (GPC) measurement of the resin particles shows that a weight-average molecular weight is 10000 to 60000, and the ratio of the weight-average molecular weight to a number-average molecular weight is 1.5 to 6. The wax particles include at least a first wax and a second wax. An endothermic peak temperature (melting point Tmw1 (° C.)) of the first wax based on a DSC method is 50° C. to 90° C. An endothermic peak temperature (melting point Tmw2 (° C.)) of the second wax based on the DSC method is at least 5° C. to 50° C. higher than Tmw1. Thus, the toner can have a smaller particle size and a sharp particle size distribution without requiring a classification process, can achieve a longer life, and can suppress transfer voids or scattering during transfer.
