1. A method of manufacturing adhered components, comprising:
a first process of applying an adhesive to a plurality of application areas on a surface of a first component, the application areas extending linearly and being spaced in a direction intersecting an extending direction in which the application areas extend linearly;
a second process of placing a second component above the first component such that the adhesive is sandwiched between the first component and the second component; and
a third process of compressing the adhesive by pressurizing the second component toward the first component with a pressurizer,
wherein, in the third process, a load applied to the pressurizer changes such that the load goes through a curvilinear increase period and a rapid increase period in an order of description, the curvilinear increase period being a period in which the load increases in a curved line as an amount of compression of the adhesive increases, the rapid increase period being a period in which the load increases in a polygonal line with respect to a trajectory of the load in the curvilinear increase period as the amount of compression of the adhesive increases, and
wherein the third process includes performing pressurization by the pressurizer while detecting the load by a load sensor, detecting the rapid increase period based on a detection value of the load sensor, and stopping the pressurization by the pressurizer during the rapid increase period.
