Toriko's gourmet-hunting adventures are drawing to an end and it's going out in style with a full color center.

The Japanese manga series "Toriko" is about to conclude with 396 chapters over all. But first, it is set to take a journey down memory lane with the 395th chapter titled "Everyone Around the Dinner Table." The chapter will feature Toriko and Rin's wedding ceremonies followed by a reception that's attended by about 5,000 guests.

The meals that will be prepared all have significance to Toriko and Komatsu's adventures and could bring longtime fans of the manga to tears. The legendary ingredient God will also make an appearance, along with the Billion Bird's Egg that once saved humanity from a year-long famine.

It promises to be a truly emotional 31-page penultimate chapter that sets the stage for the manga series' final hurrah. 

Chapter 395 will be published on the 50th issue of the "Weekly Shounen Jump" magazine, which is out on Monday, Nov. 14. The 396th and final chapter comes out the following week, Nov. 21, on the 51st issue.

However, fans are not yet ready to let go of "Toriko" since there are still a number of questions left unanswered. Some are speculating that a spin-off may be in the works to shed light on the story of the demons and Neo.

"Toriko" was first launched in 2008 on the "Weekly Shounen Jump" and was the brainchild of manga artist Mitsutoshi Shimabukuro. Its popularity subsequently inspired a 147-episode television series that aired from 2011 to 2014. Several anime specials and crossovers followed along with a 2013 animated movie.

Anime News Network reported that a new series titled "Orego Rasso" by manga artist Takamasa Moue will launch in place of "Toriko" in the 52nd issue of the "Weekly Shounen Jump" out on Monday, Nov. 28.
