Manga based on True Events/History

[zem]

What manga do you know of, or can recommend thats based on historical events.... however loosely... maybe even traditional folklore? The two that Come to my mind are Shin Angyo Onshi (my #1 manga) which intertwines Korean historical figures and stories with magic and Vagabound which is a "fictionalized" retelling of the life of Miyamoto Mushashi, often referred to as the "Sword Saint", perhaps the most famous and successful of Japan's sword fighter.

Well, i don't know any, but i do like this type of stories, that involve reality.

By the way, do you have the Vagabound manga? or links to download it? I've heard and read that it is very interesting.

Yea, Vagabound is really awesome so far, you can find it at Mangatraders OR manga-sketchbook.org . I really recommend Shin Angyo Onshi scanlated by ~Etc ([Only registered and activated users can see links. ]) though (but thats just my bias). Both mangas have like a page or two at the end of each volume that relates the characters and events to actual history and gives a better understanding of what happened.

Sayuki is also made form a traditional folklore i think.
