Aoi Horus no Hitomi: Dansou no Joou no Monogatari

The union of Hatchepsout and her half-brother Sethi heralds a new dawn in the land of the pharaohs. As the rightful heir to the throne, Sethi and Hatchepsout exude majestic grace, appearing perfect to their subjects in every way. However, Hatchepsout’s appearance as a dutiful wife belies the fierce resentment simmering within her. She not only dreams of ruling as queen, but also aspires to hold the title of pharaoh – a privilege reserved solely for men. Hatchepsout questions why her gender should limit her worth, having defeated Sethi in swordplay as a child and unmatched in archery. Her rebellion is aimed at the deeply ingrained customs of one of the world’s most magnificent cultures, as she declares war on tradition.
