Abstract
An electrostatic latent image developing toner includes a plurality of toner particles each including a toner mother particle and inorganic particles attached to a surface of the toner mother particle. The toner mother particle includes a toner core () and a shell layer () covering a surface of the toner core (). The shell layer () includes film-shaped first domains () and particle-shaped second domains (). The first domains () are substantially formed from a non-cross-linked resin. The second domains () are substantially formed from a cross-linked resin. The cross-linked resin has a glass transition point higher by 40° C. or more than that of the non-cross-linked resin. The first domains () have a surface adsorption force of at least 20.0 nN and no greater than 40.0 nN. The second domains () have a surface adsorption force of at least 4.0 nN and less than 20.0 nN.
