1	''Spirit Farmer" is a SliceOfLife fantasy Manwah focused on farming. At the time of writing, it is in its fourth season and can be read on Tapas.io.
2
3	A new category of person started popping up one day, 'superhumans' those with a supernatural ability that lets them dominate their fields, be it craftsmen who use their powers to hone their crafts, or hunters who fight back against the monsters that started pouring out of rifts in reality.
4
5	31-year-old Korean citizen Lee Geon Woo once dreamt of becoming a superhuman, even running away from home to follow that dream, though he wound up returning to his family's poor farm after he failed. All that changed when he found a potted plant on the side of the road that began speaking to him. The plant soon sprouted, turning into a spirit calling herself 'Hawa' and granting Geon Woo the superhuman class of [[TitleDrop Spirit Farmer]].

7	Spirit Farmer is a lighthearted slice of life that focuses more on the interactions between Geon Woo's friends and family than the larger going-ons of the setting's world.

10	!!This webcomic provides examples of:
11
12	* AlmightyJanitor: Lee Geon Woo is, as far as the world is concerned, a normal superhuman craftsman, below notice. Despite this fact, he is an incredibly skilled spirit farmer, able to command high-ranking spirits, grow extinct plants, and even tame dungeon monsters. Not to mention the fact that he regularly grows crops at a higher rank than thought possible. Part of the reason he isn't famous is an active attempt not to be, partially because he has an illegal dungeon (as dungeons are claimed as government property), but mostly for the sake of his family, human and monster alike.
13	** Mr. Knight is a more pronounced example, working as a butler despite being stronger than Bishop.
14	* BattleButler: Mr. Kight is even stronger than the recognized strongest hunter in the world, Bishop. Their spar had Bishop panting while Mr. Knight looked fresh as ever.
15	* TheBeastmaster: Twofold with Lee Geon Woo. Not only is he able to command the nature spirits the Hawa summons, his ability to speak to livestock allowed him to domesticate even dungeon monsters, from the harmless horned rabbits to the much more dangerous rock bees.
16	* BlessedWithSuck: Yuna Shin Hwa sought eternal youth. Unfortunately for her, she found it far too early, trapping her in the body of a young girl. Her search for an antidote (or at least something that would let her body grow) was what led her to Lee Geon Woo in the first place.
17	* CutenessOverload: Yuna tends to suffer this whenever she's around Hawa. Going as far as to manipulate one of Geon Woo's neighbors into moving away so that she could live next to her.
18	* FailedASpotCheck: None of Geon Woo's associates realize Hawa is his spirit, despite her being labeled as such on his superhuman profile.
19	* FatalFlaw: A downplayed example, but Lee Geon Woo struggles with greed. This is especially notable in the early chapters when he still had the mindset of a poor farmer with former dreams of wealth and status. He usually catches himself before any real harm is done, but it's still something he has to contend with.
20	* TheGhost: The patrons, mysterious entities that give the superhumans their abilities and only communicate through challenges. Such as Geon Woo's 'Retired Pro Farmer' or Soo Chan's 'Forgotten Maximum Chef'. Who or what they are and why they give people powers is never explained.
21	* HappilyAdopted: See InterspeciesAdoption below.
22	* IntelligenceEqualsIsolation: A self-imposed version happens to the horned rabbit that later becomes Kyukyung, due to being smarter than his children. This gets fixed once he gets named and joins the main cast.
23	* IntelligibleUnintelligible: Hawa is so far unable to say much more than [[PokemonSpeak her name]]. Geon Woo, as her summoner, is able to understand her perfectly. Everyone else makes do with tone and body language.
24	** After finally being let in on the secret, Yuna joins Geon Woo as the only ones able to understand her.
25	** The livestock also count, being unable to speak normally, but Geon Woo can understand them due to his ability to speak to anything categorized as 'livestock'. The rock bees are a notable example due to being unintelligible to the reader as well, but Geon Woo can understand them perfectly.
26	* InterclassFriendship: Lee Geon Woo's (a poor family farmer) two closest friends are Jeong Soo Chan (a world-famous chef) and Yuna Shin Hwa (the woman who cured cancer).
27	* InterspeciesAdoption: So far the list of people who consider Geon Woo as their father is: Hawa (spirit), Elle (spirit), Kyukyung (horned rabbit), Kaun (reptile monster), and [[spoiler:Soah (elf)]]. He treats them all kindly.
28	* [[ManChild Woman Child]]: A benign version in Yuna, who tends to act more childish around Hawa. Notably her caretaker, Mr Knight, seems to encourage this. There's a good chance that it's because her brain technically never aged past that of a child.
29	** Yuna's mother is a more straight example, a middle-aged woman who acts even more childish than her daughter. Such as when she dressed up and started calling herself Geon Woo's "Guardian angel".
30	* MoralityPet: A VERY toned down example, but Hawa and Elle count to Geon Woo, breaking him out of his bouts of greed.
31	* NoBiologicalSex: Hawa, due to being a spirit. This was what finally convinced Geon Woo's parents that he didn't simply kidnap some random girl (with the mother discovering she didn't have any genitals while bathing her). It can be assumed Elle is a similar case, due to also being a spirit.
32	** The elves all also count, including Elle.
33	* OlderThanTheyLook: Yuna, While she refuses to tell Geon Woo her age, we know she is a full adult despite being physically a young girl.
34	* ShipperOnDeck: Mr. Knight attempts to subtly get Geon Woo and Yuna to admit their feeling for each other. Most likely due to him seeing how happy he makes her.
