Abstract
A developing device includes a developing container, a developing roller, a regulating blade, a seal member, and a resin member. The regulating blade includes a mounting plate and a blade plate. The developing container has a facing part facing a step part due to thickness difference between the mounting plate and the blade plate. The seal member has a resin placement area, and is squeezed between the regulating blade and the facing part. The resin placement area is an area that penetrates the seal member and is surrounded by the seal member. The resin placement area overlaps the step part.
