"Historical fiction is a genre that provides readers with fun from all angles, and that is especially true for historical manga.
The genre is like a partially-painted canvas that comes already detailed with lore and language and aesthetics (architecture, costumes, inventions, traditions, and more).
But using that canvas, authors and creators can layer whatever they want on it.
They can be true to the history books and retell legendary sagas, or they can infuse these tales with supernatural and mythological elements. They can write in new peoples and places, if they want to.
Here, you'll find a mix of those two approaches to historical manga. Some of these are grounded, historically accurate tales. Others are fantastic, but still grounded in specific time periods and locations."
