Abstract
An electrostatic latent image developing toner includes toner particles each including a toner core and a shell layer. The shell layer includes first and second domains. The first domain includes a first copolymer of a first main monomer having a mole fraction of at least 20 mol % and one or more first additional monomers each having a mole fraction of less than 20 mol %. The second domain includes a second copolymer of a second main monomer having a mole fraction of at least 20 mol % and one or more second additional monomers each having a mole fraction of less than 20 mol %. A difference in polymer SP value between the first and second main monomers is at least 0.5 and no greater than 5.0. The first and second additional monomers each include one or more common monomers having a homopolymerization glass transition point of no greater than −20° C.
