A developing apparatus including a first development sleeve carrying a
developer toward a first development area, a second development sleeve
carrying the developer from the first sleeve toward a second development
area, a first magnet roller disposed in the first sleeve and having a
first magnetic pole, a second magnet roller disposed in the second sleeve
and having a second magnetic pole, a first magnet member disposed in the
vicinity of an axial end of the first sleeve without facing the first
magnetic pole, and a second magnet member disposed in the vicinity of an
axial end of the second sleeve without facing the second magnetic pole. A
surface facing the second sleeve in an end area downstream of the second
magnet member in a rotating direction of the second developer carrying
member is identical in polarity with the second magnetic pole.
