    Kingdom, Vinland Saga, and Vagabond are all great recs. There are two more, Historie and Reiri both by the same author. Historie is with greek settings and a strategic protagonist, and Reiri is with a traditional Edo era Japanese setting, a female body double/assassin. Also, I haven't had the chance to read much of it, but INNOCENT by Sakamoto is absolutely amazing. The art is mindblowing, and the setting is the french revolution. These are all mainly action/war-based.

    As for romance, would also like to add "A Bride's Story". Very accurate, realistic, and beautiful portrayal of the Ottoman empire (? Or something close to it. It takes place in central Asia/Silk Road) and the various facets of different people's lives. There isn't much war or fighting involved, so just a warning if that's not what ur looking for.

    That's all I can think of right now, but those are all historical without any time travel or any other supernatural fantasy stuff.

    Maybe some transmigration to Sengoku era like:
    Chef of Nobunaga (ordinary chef)
    Sengoku Komachi Kuroutan (student)
    Ashi-girl
    Nobunaga Concerto
    Sengoku Strays
    Oda Nobuna no Yabou (Sengoku era, but the characters are gender bend)

    Else:
    Jin (Meiji era)
    Zipang (WW2)
    Isekai Yakkyou (fantasy, but the circumstances are more of Renaissance era i/o medieval one)
    Hyouge Mono
    GATE: JSDF Fought Here
    Housekeeper of the Hundred Blossom Palace (fictional ancient CHN, there's a manga adaptation of the novel but no ENG translation yet)
    Professor Munakata series (folklore professor, connecting folklore w/ archeology & other study of ancient people)
