Post-processing device and image forming apparatus

A post-processing device comprising:

• a loading section that has a loading surface directed obliquely upward and in which a recording medium is loaded on the loading surface in a state where one end of the recording medium is directed downward;
• a supporting section that supports the one end of the recording medium loaded on the loading surface;
• and
• a correcting section that corrects deflection of the recording medium by coming into contact with a first part of the recording medium from a side of the recording medium, which is loaded on the loading surface, opposite to the loading surface and by thereafter coming into contact with a second part above the first part of the recording medium in a state of being in contact with the first part.
