I would like an action or martial arts or supernatural type manga set in any type of historical setting like
the manga below.
any demographic just no romance
Yoakemono
Arslan Senki
Amatsuki
Adekan
Donten ni Warau
Yae no Sakura
Peace Maker Kurogane
Ichi


________________

To be honest, I have never read those but you should try Shoukoku no Altair.

Embalming - The Another Tale of Frankenstein(historic fantasy) 8/10 and his Rurouni Kenshin(samurai) 10/10.
Blind Faith Descent(arabian-ish fantasy) 9/10 and Claymore 8,5/10(medieval-ish fantasy).
Jojo no Kimyou na Bouken(covers nearly everything) is overall a 7/10 franchise with Steel Ball Run 8/10 being the best. They all have romance but not as the main focus.
All are to the point action/adventure tales and very diverse.

Basilisk - a lot of supernatural elements, graphic/mature (not the biggest fan of this one) while it is labelled "romance" there really is no lovey dovey anything.
Vagabond - not sure if it has more supernatural elements, very graphic
Himegami - supernatural and "ecchi"

All twisting some part of Japan's history.

Vinland Saga
Shin Angyo Onshi

Webtoons, Manga, Manhwa!

Kingdom -a war manga that has good use of martial arts
Ruler of the land - MC can learn martial art styles by just seeing them
Blood and Steel - a young matrial artist's journey to vengeance
Feng Shen Ji - Supernatural with Gods and other life forms

Romance if any is just a subplot and we'll done sometimes even makes the storit's more enjoyable

+1 to Vagabond, Vinland Saga, and Shin Angyo Onshi although the last leans more fantasy than historical imo.

Adding:
Shut Hell
Le Chevalier d'Éon
Samurai Deeper Kyo
