In the cross-section perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the electrophotographic photosensitive member (1-1, 1-2), when an arc which is a line at the intersection of the cross-section with a contacting face, is represented by an arc AB, the center of a circle of the cross-section of the electrophotographic photosensitive member (1-1, 1-2) is represented by a center O, and the point at the intersection of a straight line via the center O among straight lines of a direction of the pressure contact of the molding member (1-2, 2-2) with the arc AB is represented by an intersection C, the uneven structure on the surface of the molding member (1-2, 2-2) transfers to the surface of the electrophotographic photosensitive member (1-1, 1-2) so that ˆ AOC and ˆ BOC satisfy the following formulas (1) and (2), respectively: 0.5 �¢ ° ‰¤ ˆ AOC ‰¤ 45 �¢ ° and 0.5 �¢ ° ‰¤ ˆ BOC ‰¤ 45 �¢ ° |
