Oh boy I was reminded of Ouke no Monsho because of the special interest in a young girl with blue eyes, blonde hair, and love of ancient Egypt, except that the protagonist in Ouke had more of an extensive knowledge of Egypt that wasn't focused on just one pharaoh and her reaction was way more believable...Ivy is whining about going back so much in the beginning that she doesn't even realize she's in the past and I wondered why no one thought her clothes were strange? I mean she claimed to like Ramses II but then she didn't think what that time period would be like and she finds out that Sese is her favorite pharaoh and she pushes him away like nobody's business...I even felt a little bad for him although it must have shocked him to be rejected for the first time by a woman. Also, I like Xian he should find himself someone else who understands him and loves him like his sister, but Ivy like so many other protagonists should just realize that they've changed the timeline already for good and bad so just enjoy ancient times already! It's hilarious that she's so worried about her impact on history when she brought a gun, pepper spray and some other future inventions in a backpack...like couldn't that mess with the past as well? All I know is I like romanticized ancient times even when things don't make sense, but the original Nephatari is really amazing...she understands that you carve out your own destiny/love and if you already changed things drastically why not make them the way you want them?
