A magnetic recording medium and a manufacturing method therefore includes a protective film, a nonmagnetic substrate, a nonmagnetic base layer, a nonmagnetic intermediate layer, a magnetic layer, and a liquid lubricant layer. The nonmagnetic base layer has a body-centered cubic structure and a (200) plane including a crystal-orientation parallel with a surface of the protective film. The nonmagnetic intermediate layer has a hexagonal close-packed structure and a (110) plane including a crystal-orientation parallel with the surface of the protective film. The magnetic layer has a granular structure including hexagonal close-packed ferromagnetic crystal grains and oxide-based nonmagnetic grain boundaries surrounding the ferromagnetic crystal grains. The nonmagnetic base layer, the nonmagnetic intermediate layer, the magnetic layer, the protective film, and the liquid lubricant layer are sequentially stacked on the nonmagnetic substrate.
