Uh…shame on me. I didn’t read the Japnanese wikipedia entry before. It seems that there’s already a comprehensive list of books and dramas and other stuff there…

Yeah, I think so too. Most of the figures there are certain, but some can only be guessed if not to be missed. I just thought it would be neat, I mean so that the format would appear in an orderly way, to replace the many “around’s” in the text with a disclaimer. In the text, maybe we could use font color to indicate which are certain and which are not.

And this post might help a little in terms of the list of publication, I’ve incorperated shortstories into the main books, with kind of a “timeline” feature.

Thanks! I’ll definitely use some of this info (though I do want to avoid speculation. I’d rather just say something like ‘he’s around such and such age.’)

Hi. As for the timeline and character ages, I’m perfectly willing to donate mine, if it could be of any help. I’ve just translated it roughly into English, and there’s still rooom for improvement. You can check it out here:
