    It's exactly as it states: Japanese manga that is Chinese themed. I'm not really searching for manhuas. A well-known example is Akatsuki no Yona (...I think).

    It can be within any genre so long as it's Chinese-themed.

    This kind of manga tends to be in the shoujo section, but there are very few. Therefore, my hunger is still not satiated. Here's are all of those I have read so far:
    Ookami-heika no Hanayome
    Fushigi Yuugi
    Saiunkoku Monogatari
    Mikado no Shihou
    Kusuriya no Hitorigoto

    Kingdom

    There's also The Ravages of Time which is a Hong Kong manhua but the art style is completely like a manga.

    It's old, but some of Yokoyama Mitsuteru's mangas are based on Chinese's Classic Literature, it's a fun read :
    Sangokushi (Romance of the Three Kingdoms)
    Shiki / Shiji (Records of the Grand Historian)

    Absolutely Kingdom. My favorite manga of all time. It's about the warring period and the journey of Shin, a general in helping his friend, emperor Shi Huang Di to unite China. The fight and war strategy battle is amazing.
