This series is about a man named Kurusu who can steal a person's luck just by touching them. Using his power he works as an assassin by stealing luck from people who do evil things without being reprimended. Without luck, "coincidence" will instantly kill, or in rare cases give major injuries to, those people à la Final Destination. As to why the guy needs all that luck...

Found this at random today, gotta say I'm impressed...

Spoiler for impressions:

Surprised this got by without a single reply considering there's a thread on it, anyone know if it's finished or something? (read up to ch.15)

According to Baka-updates, it's still ongoing with seven volumes so far and chapter 15 is in the middle of volume 4.

Alright, thanks for the update, I'll keep an eye out for it

I think the reason Kafriel is that it's a little rough on the edges. The idea is solid but the execution, in particularly his daughter, is a little shaky. Since the series seems to be all about little Karin, I think some people just got turned off.

Scanlations for the series have resumed. It's been too long.

Spoiler: It's because his daughter cannot steal luck from other people nor make luck herself and will die unless her father Kurusu steals it from other people and gives it to her.

Spoiler for impressions: The story's very good, starting off with gank of the week and touching Kurusu's past later on, it was pretty emotional. Although his character is not unique, he's very likeable and can be quite badass at times, plus he's hilarious when talking to Airi The whole luck business has a good dose of mystery, but what I'm really looking forward to is the connection to Karin, she obviously can't live like this...
