1. A toner adjusting mechanism, comprising: a storage section in which a liquid developer collected from a holding member surface is stored, the holding member moving while holding the liquid developer on the holding member surface; a supply section that causes the liquid developer which is stored in the storage section to flow at a predetermined flow velocity to supply the liquid developer to a developer tank; a circulating section that causes the liquid developer which is discharged from the storage section to flow and circulate at a flow velocity faster than the flow velocity of the liquid developer which flows in the supply section; a detecting section that detects a toner concentration of the liquid developer which flows in the circulating section; and an addition section that adds an adjustment agent which adjusts the toner concentration of the liquid developer to the liquid developer which is stored in the storage section.
