PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an organic photoreceptor having scratch resistance and excellent memory resistance and dot reproducibility even in long-term use, an image forming apparatus including the organic photoreceptor, and an image forming method.SOLUTION: The organic photoreceptor includes a protective layer formed on an organic photosensitive layer. The protective layer comprises a curable resin component obtained by polymerizing a polymerizable compound in the presence of a radical scavenger, metal oxide fine particles, and a compound expressed by general formula (1) as a charge transporting substance. A volume ratio (vol%) A of the metal oxide fine particles in the protective layer, and a volume ratio (vol%) B of the compound expressed by general formula (1) in the protective layer satisfy a relational expression (1): 80/A≤B≤160/A and a relational expression (2): 12≤A≤25. |
