What is Alternative Past manga?

An anime that takes place in an alternative past is an anime that clearly does not belong to the future or the present, and isn't tied particularly closely to our history, or has ties to our history but only as a premise: there are too many things that don't make sense for the time-period. In some cases there is futuristic technology present, but the overall setting still feels that of the past. However the setting must still take place on Earth, since we can not know if the history of a fantasy world is an alternate one or not.

A novelist approaches a mercenary who has lost his place of employment. She has a request to escort her to an interview in 'a mountainous region that is not on the map'. Hiring a mercenary is unavoidable and by process of elimination the novelist had no other choice but him. The journey of the two people, who are constantly swearing at each other, eventually gets caught up in a plot involving the nation... An era of high growth when the transcontinental railroad was completed, but an era of twilight when electric lights were not yet born. A story of a world similar to "why" in 19th century America.
