Hello everyone, I'm new here, so I thought I'd try and start off with something productive.

Alright: on Eto's page there are a number of works she wrote under the alias of Takatsuki Sen, listed as follow.

1st work: Dear Kafka, her debut as a writer;

Unspecified: Monochrome Rainbow, a short story collection including Summer Diary, Resentments and Showers at Sunset;

Unspecified: Salt and Opium, "one of her first works";

7th work: The Black Goat's Egg;

8th work: The Hanged Man's MacGuffin;

10th and final work: King Bileygr.

Outside of this list, I couldn't recall any other titles of her books. However, while I was rereading chapter 62 of TG:re, I noticed that the book Eto angrily crumpled in front of Anteiku had a discernbile title. So I went and tried to decipher what was written, which resulted in おとし箱, which I believe is translitterated as Otoshi-bako and means - according to Google Translate (I know, I know) - something like "Burnished Box" or "Happy New Year Box".

Not recalling any box among Takatsuki's works, I tried to paste おとし箱 into Google and one of the first results was a page from what I think is a Japanese TG:re fan site (I'm not sure if I should link it, but you can see it shouldn't be hard to find on your own), which proposes the following list.

【高槻泉名義の作品群】 処女作：短編集「虹のモノクロ」

（「拝啓カフカ」「なつにっき」「ルサンチメンズ」「小夜時雨」を収録）

2作目：「鵤千鳥」

3作目：「白練」

4作目：「おとし箱」

5作目：「フーコの黄色い靴」

6作目：「塩とアヘン」

7作目：「黒山羊の卵」

8作目：「吊るしビトのマクガフィン」

をそれぞれ出版します.

Now, the curious thing - and probably the only one you'll be able to make out if you're like me and can't read any Japanese aside from の and little else - is that the order is quite precise, and the list comprises all of Takatuski's publications except from the ninth book, which remains a mystery, and King Bileygr since the post is from November 2014.

So there I went and Google Translated the list, and the slightly more coherent result is this.

List of work published under the name Takatsuki Sen

Debut work: the collection of short stories Monochrome Rainbow (comprising of Dear Kafka, Summer Diary, Resentments and Showers at Sunset)

2nd work: Ikaru Chidori

3rd work: Shironeri

4th work: Otoshi-bako

5th work: Fūko no Kiiroi Kutsu

6th work: Salt and Opium

7th work: The Black Goat's Egg

8th work: The Hanged Man's MacGuffin

"In respecive order of publication".

I'm trusting some of you may do a better job than me at this, but the point is, this list shows more titles than what the Wiki page does, but aside from the slight discrepancies such as the debut work, what gives it credence is the presence of おとし箱, predating the appearance of the book in the manga (unless I missed something, which is entirely possible) of more than a year.

Thus the question is: could this list be accurate or is it just something someone compiled with random notions? And if it is accurate, where does this information come from? I believe it could be an interesting thing to find out. Let me know what you think or what you know, and whether I wrote this long post for something everyone already acknowledged or not.
