Amai Seikatsu (甘い生活, "Sweet Life") is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Hikaru Yuzuki [ja]. It was serialized in Shueisha's seinen manga magazine Business Jump from 1990 to 2011, with its chapters collected in 40 tankōbon volumes. A sequel, Amai Seikatsu: 2nd Season, was serialized in Grand Jump from November 2011 to June 2024.
The story is about a young part-timer, Shinosuke, and his rise in the lingerie company "PIXY". He was found by the eccentric CEO Shōzō Hino when Shinosuke was returning a pair of old ladies underwear that was sent to the wrong department. Later, it is discovered that Shinosuke has an odd “talent”. He is able to merely touch a lady and know if she is wearing the right or wrong lingerie and can even tell her measurements. His touch also causes a pleasurable sensation to the ladies and they come back for more. Shinosuke does not understand this due to his innocence and “purity”. As the story progresses a romance develops between Shinosuke and Yumika Wakamiya, the private secretary to Hino.
