A method for manufacturing an anion exchange resin, in which remaining of impurities and generation of decomposition products are suppressed and leachables are reduced, the method including the following steps (1-a) to (1-e) of: (1-a) obtaining a cross-linked copolymer by copolymerizing a monovinyl aromatic monomer and a cross-linkable aromatic monomer; (1-b) specifying the content of a specific leachable compound to be 400 μg or less relative to 1 g of the cross-linked copolymer; (1-c) haloalkylating the cross-linked copolymer so as to introduce 80 percent by mole or less of haloalkyl group relative to the monovinyl aromatic monomer; (1-d) removing a specific leachable compound from the haloalkylated cross-linked copolymer; and (1-e) subjecting the haloalkylated cross-linked copolymer to a reaction with an amine compound.
