Magnetic toner

A magnetic toner comprising

• magnetic toner particles containing a binder resin, a release agent, and a magnetic body, and
• inorganic fine particles present on the surface of the magnetic toner particles,
• wherein;
• the inorganic fine particles present on the surface of the magnetic toner particles comprise metal oxide fine particles,
• the metal oxide fine particles containing silica fine particles, and optionally containing titania fine particles and alumina fine particles, and a content of the silica fine particles being at least 85 mass % with respect to a total mass of the silica fine particles, the titania fine particles and the alumina fine particles,
• wherein;
• when a coverage ratio A(%) is a coverage ratio of the magnetic toner particles' surface by the inorganic fine particles and a coverage ratio B(%) is a coverage ratio of the magnetic toner particles' surface by the inorganic fine particles that are fixed to the magnetic toner particles' surface,
• the magnetic toner has a coverage ratio A of at least 45.0% and not more than 70.0% and a coefficient of variation on the coverage ratio A of not more than 10.0%, and
• a ratio [coverage ratio B/coverage ratio A] of the coverage ratio B to the coverage ratio A of at least 0.50 and not more than 0.85,
• wherein
• the binder resin comprises a styrene resin and, in a measurement using gel permeation chromatography of a tetrahydrofuran-soluble matter in the magnetic toner, a peak molecular weight (Mp) of a main peak is from at least 4000 to not more than 8000,
• and wherein
• the release agent comprises at least one of fatty acid ester compounds selected from the group consisting of a tetrafunctional fatty acid ester compound, a pentafunctional fatty acid ester compound and a hexafunctional fatty acid ester compound, and the fatty acid ester compound has a melting point of from at least 60° C. to not more than 90° C.
