Abstract
Methacrylic resin having high heat resistance, highly controlled birefringence, excellent color tone and transparency, and excellent moldability is provided. A methacrylic resin comprises a structural unit (B) having a cyclic structure-containing main chain, the structural unit (B) including at least one structural unit selected from the group consisting of an N-substituted maleimide-based structural unit (B-1) and a lactone ring structural unit (B-2), wherein a glass transition temperature is more than 120° C. and 160° C. or less, an amount of a methanol-soluble content is 5 mass % or less relative to 100 mass % of a total amount of the methanol-soluble content and a methanol-insoluble content in the methacrylic resin, and an yellowness index YI measured using a 10 cm optical path length cell for a 20 w/v % chloroform solution of the methanol-insoluble content is 0 to 7.
