...why hasn't someone turned this into a meme, come to think of it? 'Choose your favorite historical personage who should have their life/death/exploits adapted into a manga'--with bonus points for picking the mangaka, or adding extra off-the-wall details (mecha, dragons, zombie dogs), or putting it in a Recycled In Space! setting.

And I shall start by quoting something I posted in a review of The Haunted: A Social History of Ghosts, instead of coming up with something new:

And in a late section, on ghost hunters, he mentions in passing the Cornish folklorist William Henry Paynter, who zipped around the county with Prince Birabonge Bhanubandh in the Prince's sports car investigating hauntings. Now there's a manga waiting to happen!

I would read that manga! (And rushthatspeaks was entirely right about it sounding like an AU of Emma--I can just see that sports car running out of petrol in the middle of a gloomy moor somewhere.)
