Favorite Historical Manga?

Welp I finally got around to reading Berserk (had been putting it off for some reason) and it might just be my favorite historical manga. I mean, it is historical right?

There are next to no "historical manga" in the world. Berserk is not a "historical manga", it is inspired by historical events, but then again so are most manga these days. (No matter how abstract.) That being said, Berserk does a great job at showcasing how the world was during the Middle-Ages.

Technically, Sengoku Basara is inspired by historical events. Given that it features magical lightning attacks and Oda Nobunaga as the literal Demon King of the Sixth Heaven however, I don't think it oughta count...

Rurouni Kenshin for me. Loosely based off real events during Japan's Meiji era with the Tokugawa shogunate and the Shinsengumi.

Well Naruto is based of legends, historical events and inspired by real life people and events. Does that make it a historical manga? No.

Who knows. Isn't Japan full of super humans anyway, have you not seen Black Bullet. Japan is full of mechs and lolis.

Who cares, it's a damn good anime.

Gate isn't exactly what I'd classify as historical.
