Claim 0:
1. A method of manufacturing an electronic component including at least a multilayer body and an insulating layer that covers a side surface of the multilayer body, the multilayer body including a plurality of dielectric layers and a plurality of internal electrodes that are alternately stacked on one another, the method comprising:
preparing an unfired multilayer body that is to be formed as the multilayer body after firing, the unfired multilayer body including:
a first main surface and a second main surface that are opposite to each other in a stacking direction;
a first side surface and a second side surface that are opposite to each other in a width direction substantially orthogonal to the stacking direction; and
a first end surface and a second end surface that are opposite to each other in a length direction substantially orthogonal to the stacking direction and the width direction;

bonding one main surface of the first main surface and the second main surface of the unfired multilayer body to a first adhesive sheet having an elongated shape;
conveying the first adhesive sheet having the one main surface of the unfired multilayer body bonded thereto in a first direction in which the first adhesive sheet approaches a second adhesive sheet having an elongated shape, and bonding one side surface of the first side surface and the second side surface of the unfired multilayer body to the second adhesive sheet;
conveying the second adhesive sheet in a second direction different from the first direction to peel off the unfired multilayer body bonded to the first adhesive sheet and the second adhesive sheet from the first adhesive sheet;
removing foreign matters from the other side surface of the first side surface and the second side surface of the unfired multilayer body having the one side surface bonded to the second adhesive sheet; and
forming a first insulating layer on the other side surface from which the foreign matters have been removed.
