Hello there, as the title suggests, I am looking for a historical romance manga based in any ancient country (Ancient China, Egypt, Italy, Assyria...)
So no victorian times or middle ages, just pure ancient. Also; action is always welcome with me.
I've read:
-
Legend of Nereid
-
Ouke no Monshou
-
Red River
-
Saver
A few more, but I forgot the names x)😛

// The fact that a moment,sad to think it is;only ever happens once.
No matter how much you want it to last
Everything is destined to cease existing
That there will come a time no one is left to remember us
And even the magnificent and grand tales we had
That our lives will all just vanquish into the mere oblivion.
That we are to be
An undying echo of the forgotten,
A shout to mindless void
I know
For it's been written in our destinies//
IN LEVI ACKERMAN WE TRUST

In a way Magi - The Labyrinth of Magic, has ancient history influences over it's major fantasy genre, though not that much romance since it's a shonen manga. It gets the ancient history influence from the nations in the Magi universe, since they allude to ancient empires, like for example the Roman empire, Chinese empire and so on.

I love historical manga too but most I've read and really liked defy your request no middle age/Victorian backgrounds
But there's one on my faves list:
Xue Lian - historical, supernatural, romance, action(sort of). Beautiful, fine art.
It's ongoing and the releases come out slowly, but it's definitely worth it because it's amazing. 🙂
"No single raindrop thinks it is responsible for the flood." Implying that every time you repeat a habit, it's another .001 figure added to your risk of suffering finite oblivion.

I recommend Song of the Long March. It's pretty good.
