Suddenly: Kuzu no Honkai <3
The premise of this is horrible, it's just terrible people doing terrible things to other terrible people, to the point you start thinking maybe the original "innocent victim" was secretly a terrible person too, just because that's the only thing existing in this world. But for all that, it's really well written. And the kind of duality on Karma is pretty awesome too. She's an amoral psychopath, but give the right situation, and she flips into something else, like the cold and rational approach when she's pinned down with a gun pointed to her head. And then there's flashes like this exchange which make you think what she's showing might very well be her personality from before she was broken by everything she went through. It's really much better written than I expected. Well, I wouldn't have kept reading if it wasn't, since the genre itself holds little interest to me.
