For the otaku interested in manga with stories happening in the times of the Romans (10) and Greek (7), and Gauls (1).

(Also thanks to tzippurah)

Series that are heavily overlooked on MAL (at the time of writing, under 2k members). Most, if not all of them are also underrated. Will likely add series in the future as I read them.

From Renaissance artists and lovers to Italian restaurants and modern Italian slice of life to ancient Rome - these manga are all set in Italy!

Please let me know if I have missed any hidden gems.

Works based on Shakespeare's Italian set plays are in a different list.

With gratitude for contributions from kihel.

Stories that take place in historical settings, in historical order.

Europe of classical antiquity, between history and myth in ancient Greece and Rome

"It's not a matter of good or evil; yet it may be possible to do it any other way."

Noir is characterized by such elements as cynical heroes, stark lighting effects, frequent use of flashbacks, intricate plots, and an underlying existentialist philosophy. The full definition can be found in Noir interest stacks' descriptions; but at times, manga titles haven't gone all in Noir, rather the mangakas made it more palatable to wider audience.

I realize it after having stumbled upon some manga titles that contain some clear Noir features, but not fully immersed in it (tl;dr: not enough blood spilled) to be inserted in Noir interest stack.
