PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a liquid developer that is eco-friendly, excellent in fixing strength of toner particles to a recording medium and transfer property and developing property of a toner image, and can achieve formation of an image with excellent resolution of a formed toner image, and to provide a method for manufacturing the liquid developer, and an image forming method and an image forming apparatus using the liquid developer. SOLUTION: The liquid developer contains toner particles dispersed in an insulating liquid and is characterized in that the toner particles are composed of a bonded body of a plurality of fine particles containing a resin material and that the insulating liquid contains glyceride of an unsaturated fatty acid. The viscosity of the insulating liquid is preferably 5 to 1,000 mPa s, and the iodine value of the insulating liquid is preferably 100 to 200. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
