PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for manufacturing an electrophotographic photoreceptor which causes no density unevenness to a halftone image, etc., by using an overflow system dip coating method by which uniform superior photosensitive layers can be reliably formed on various conductive substrates, and to provide the photoreceptor and an image forming apparatus using the same. SOLUTION: In the method for manufacturing an electrophotographic photoreceptor, a conductive substrate is dipped into a dip solution, and when the substrate is pulled up, the dip solution is allowed to overflow and the level of the dip solution is kept at a nearly prescribed height during pull-up. The dip solution covering the outer surface of the substrate is formed as a photosensitive layer. The viscosity of the dip solution is in a range of 200 to 900 mPa s and the flow rate of overflow of the dip solution during at least pull-up of the conductive substrate is 1.0 to 2.0 cm/s.
