To manufacture an absorber that easily improves liquid permeability and liquid diffusivity. (I) The non-woven fabric sheet (14) conveys the strip-shaped main sheet (10) constituting at least a part of the first main surface (10s) in the longitudinal direction of the main sheet (10), and (ii) the conveyance path The slit (16) is formed in the non-woven fabric sheet (14) so that the cut (17) is formed in the first main surface (10 s) at the first position of (iii) at the second position, The granular material (11) capable of absorbing and retaining the liquid is sprinkled on the region including the cut (17) of the first main surface (10s), and the granular material (11) becomes a non-woven sheet ( 14), and (iv) at the third position, the passage of the powdery or granular material (11) to the region of the first main surface (10s) where the powdery or granular material (11) is scattered. Overlay the blocking cover sheet (18). The non-woven sheet (14) includes, at the second position, a bulky structure (14k) that constitutes at least a part of the first main surface (10s) and has a void for allowing the granular material (11) to enter. ..通液性や液拡散性の向上が容易である吸収体を製造する。 （ｉ）不織布シート(１４)が第１の主面(１０ｓ)の少なくとも一部を構成する帯状の主シート(１０)を、主シート(１０)の長手方向に搬送し、（ii）搬送経路の第１の位置で、不織布シート(１４)に、第１の主面(１０ｓ)に切れ目(１７)が形成されるようにスリット(１６)を形成し、（iii）第２の位置で、第１の主面(１０ｓ)のうち切れ目(１７)を含む領域に、液体を吸収し保持することが可能な粉粒体(１１)を散布して、粉粒体(１１)が不織布シート(１４)に保持されるようにし、（iv）第３の位置で、第１の主面(１０ｓ)のうち粉粒体(１１)が散布された領域に、粉粒体(１１)の通過を阻止する被覆シート(１８)を重ねる。不織布シート(１４)は、第２の位置において、第１の主面(１０ｓ)の少なくとも一部を構成し粉粒体(１１)が入り込むための空隙を有する嵩高構造(１４ｋ)を含んでいる。
