A fighting-ish paranormal/super/preternatural Korean original webcomic manhwa with a lot of blood.

It's full-color, with a protagonist that I originally mistook for female (he has the waist and hips of a disney princess, from certain angles; damn, he made me jealous for a second).

It has a bunch of good points and the art style is generally appealing. Sometimes there will be an off-looking panel or shoddy background but they're not so odd that they detract from the story.

...
The protagonist, Yu-hwa, is a laid-back, cheerful coffee shop owner and a pacifist with a strange ability to heal injuries very quickly (for example, skin burnt from boiling water takes only a few seconds to regenerate), though he keeps getting into more and more fights to protect his new friends from strange creatures called Anothers that want to dominate the world.
...

Saying anything else would be spoiling it for you. Read to find out. I'm picky with my manhwa (more so than with my manga), and this is stellar to get onto my list (it actually gave me the idea for this book; it's generally underappreciated, I believe, so I want to spread the word.)

The artist also draws "Nobelesse" (ongoing), though the second season of "Ability" is currently on hold (and has been for more than two years).
