Historical manga can still seem fantastical even in a world grounded in realism. Where they lack in the expansive world-building a fantasy series may have, the sense of realism convinces readers that these events truly could have happened. To make sure this happens, of course, one needs a strong protagonist.
Unlike different genres, the protagonist here is functioning during a period in history and, as such, is the reader's eyes and ears within that world. The challenges they may face within a historical manga could be influenced by the time, politics, and social status. The skills these protagonists need are not based on powers or magic, but on wit, communication, and human strength. Not only do these protagonists have to be physically strong, but mentally and emotionally as well.
