An image forming assembly includes a first unit having a photosensitive drum as an image carrier and a second unit being independent of the first unit and having a developing device as one of image formation relating devices for taking part in an image formation on the photosensitive drum, is removably fitted in a housing of an image forming apparatus at its predetermined position along a paper feeding path in the housing and functions as a main portion for forming an image on a paper sheet being fed along the paper feeding path. The first and second units are adjacent to each other at their predetermined positions along the paper feeding path, and are provided with handles being adjacent to each other when the first and second units are adjacent to each other at their predetermined positions within the housing. The two handles can be held simultaneously by a single hand of an operator when the first and second units are adjacent to each other at their predetermined positions within the housing, so that the first and second units can be simultaneously fitted to or simultaneously removed from the predetermined positions within the housing.
