It's an interesting theory, but I think it would take away from the story if Sorawo or Toriko weren't human. At its core, it's a story about being an outsider, someone who doesn't truly fit in society. The Otherside is a source of horror, but it's also a source of comfort and a place Sorawo and Toriko can be their true selves. It's the transformation from being alien metaphorically to being alien literally. Them being real humans is crucial for that.
