The present invention relates to an image forming method using a yellow toner, a magenta toner, and a cyan toner, in which the yellow toner, the magenta toner, and the cyan toner respectively contain toner base particles containing a binder resin containing an amorphous polyester resin as a main component and a crystalline resin, aluminum, and a colorant, and the concentration of aluminum in the toner base particles of the yellow toner measured by high-frequency inductively coupled plasma emission spectral analysis satisfies a specific relation. According to the present invention, an image forming method and a toner set which can improve the thin paper separation property while maintaining favorable low temperature fixability are provided.
