And now here's a modern manga with an old-fashioned setting.
GOLDEN JAPANESQUE: A SPLENDID YOKOHAMA ROMANCE (Kin'iro Japanesque: Yokohama Kako tan), by Kaho Miyasaka. First published in 2018 and first published in North America in 2021.
PLOT:
All Maria wanted to do was to go unnoticed. She was tired of being a burden to her mother, tired of the mockery and shame that others heap upon her, tired of not even being able to read kanji. She never expected to catch the eye of the young master Rintarou. She certainly didn't expect him to discover the golden hair and big blue eyes she's desperately been trying to hide from the world. The two find themselves unwittingly drawn to one another, even as the society of Meiji-era Tokyo strives to keep them apart.
