Similar historical manga with a focus on accuracy  

Both manga are westerns focused on Irish immigrants to the US. Shamrock & Gold has a great deal to say about the Hunger, and while it doesn’t shy away from serious issues such as prejudice, crime, and slavery in America, it does tend to paint the US in an overall positive light as the land of opportunity. Green Blood takes a darker tone with gritty detail and a revenge story. Both are excellent reads.
