An aqueous ink comprising:

• water;
• multiple water-soluble organic solvents;
• and a dispersible colorant, the aqueous ink containing a good medium with respect to the dispersible colorant and a bad medium with respect to the dispersible colorant as the water-soluble organic solvents, wherein:
• the dispersible colorant comprises a colorant and chargeable resin pseudo fine particles smaller than the colorant, the colorant and the chargeable resin pseudo fine particles fix to each other;
• and
• when a total amount of the good medium in the ink (mass %) is denoted by A and a total amount of the bad medium in the ink (mass %) is denoted by B, A:B is in a range of 10:5 to 10:30, and a water-soluble organic solvent showing a maximum Ka value out of respective Ka values of the multiple water-soluble organic solvents each determined by a Bristow method comprises the bad medium.
