Magnetic toner and image-forming method

A magnetic toner, comprising:

• a magnetic toner particle containing a binder resin, a wax and a magnetic body, wherein
• the wax forms domains in the interior of the magnetic toner particle, the number-average diameter of the domains being 50 to 500 nm,
• CV2/CV1≤1.00 when Dn (m) is a number-average particle diameter of the magnetic toner, CV1 (%) is coefficient of variation of a brightness variance value of the magnetic toner in a particle diameter range of Dn ±0.500, and CV2 (%) is coefficient of variation of the brightness variance value of the magnetic toner in a particle diameter range of Dn −1.500 to Dn −0.500,
• an average brightness of the magnetic toner is 30.0 to 60.0 in the particle diameter range of Dn ±0.500;
• and
• coefficient of variation CV3 of an occupied area percentage for the magnetic body is 40.0 to 80.0% in a cross section of the magnetic toner observed using a transmission electron microscope when the cross section is divided with a square grid having a side of 0.8 μm.
