A developer for developing an electrostatic latent image, including a carrier which includes core particles, and a surface layer surrounding each of the core particles and containing an acrylic resin binder; and a toner which includes toner particles and an external additive of inorganic or organic fine particles present on each of the toner particles. Each of the toner particles comprises a colorant, a matrix of a first resin, and a plurality of domains of a second resin dispersed in the matrix and containing a wax.
