Isuna Hasekura strikes again with Magdala de Nemure(マグダラで眠れ). If you like fantasy series based on alchemy with a not-so-fantastic setting(as in quite close to reality), this book will fit your reading preference. Of course, Hasekura-sensei's renown "Do the thorough research" way of writing is back even in this fantasy novel. Just like Spice and Wolf, this is a novel that might make you think "So that's how it works" while reading it.

Even so, I won't recommend this series currently because the first volume is very clearly just some sort of prologue, so for people who just don't have the patience to wait, I advise to wait at least 3 to 4 more volumes to come out before buying it(because I don't know how fast Hasekura-sensei writes).
