Talk:Altair of the Point at Infinity/@comment-181.66.2.87-20150225172134/@comment-7888499-20150225230932

The original light novel version has not been translated into English as far as I know. However, the first two volumes of the trilogy Altair belongs to have been adapted into manga form, so I assume this volume will be so as well. Epigraph of the Closed Curve has already finished its manga run and Pandora of Eternal Return is on to its second volume. If you look for them on batoto or baka mangaupdates you can find the English scanlations of these, and the scanlator intends to do Altair as well, I believe.

This page and Shiina Kagari's character page are in need of major updating still. However, Kagari has already made an appearance in both the Epigraph and Pandora manga, so you can learn a little about her there.

!!!! Spoiler for Altair !!!!

My Japanese isn't good enough to allow me to read the light novel however what I have been able to understand from Japanese blog sites is that: She might look similar to Kurisu, but she is most certainly a different character. She was brainwashed in 2032 by a certain "Professor" during treatment for the trauma she experienced when she lost her parents in an air raid. Suzuha loses her when they travel from 1975 to 1998 after acquiring the IBN5100, because Kagari following her brainwashing orders destroys the IBN and leaves Suzuha. She then grows up under the "Professor"'s wing.

!!!!!MAJOR SPOILERS about their identities and the end of the story!!!!!

-A small warning, I'm really not sure if I have properly understood the Japanese, so that's why I have been refraining until the manga version is translated in English before editing this page and Kagari's character page with this information. So, please, take these with a grain of salt until someone else verifies this.-

If I understood right, then Kagari has actually usurped Amane Yuki's identity in most of the world lines that are featured in the Epigraph Trilogy.

And, the "Professor" is revealed to be none other than Alex Leskinen, the boss of Hiyajou Maho and Makise Kurisu.
