A method of manufacturing a composite of a continuous sheet for an absorbent article, dividing and producing from a first continuous sheet single-cut sheets of a predetermined length, and adhering the single-cut sheets to a second continuous sheet in a continuous direction thereof at a predetermined adhesion pitch, including: (1) holding the first continuous sheet on a peripheral surface of a roll while sliding, by supplying the first continuous sheet continuously on the peripheral surface of the roll at a first speed lower than a peripheral speed of the roll (2) producing the single-cut sheet by dividing the first continuous sheet with a cutter at a time a cutter receiving part provided on the peripheral surface passes a position of the cutter disposed to face the peripheral surface at a predetermined position in a peripheral direction of the roll (3) transporting in the peripheral direction and at the peripheral speed the produced single-cut sheet held on the peripheral surface (4) selecting one continuous sheet among a plurality of continuous sheets as the second continuous sheet, the plurality of continuous sheets including a continuous sheet transported at a second speed that is higher than the peripheral speed, and a continuous sheet transported at a third speed that is equal to or higher than the peripheral speed but lower than the second speed and (5) adhering the single-cut sheet on the peripheral surface to the continuous sheet by supplying the selected continuous sheet towards the peripheral surface of the roll rotating at the peripheral speed.
