Question about one 'Masahrio Shibata' and his works ...

Looking for his other works I searched for his name in the encylopedia, as well as in the forums, but nothing was returned - although his name on Sarai's page links to an entry entitled 'Masahiro SHIBATA', for what it's worth.

The review mentions Mr. Masahrio as being "popular with several other series in Japan such as “Akai Kiba Series: Blue Sonnet” and “Love Syncloid”", but I am unable to find any information about his published history other than two stories on ANN (Sarai and Sonnet).

As for the two website links posted on his author's page, the first one seems to link to a fake page - or at least a page that won't work for me, other than the loading of the entry page - and the second seems to be a site with content from more than one person. (And considering the content at the links, I'd just link to mention that I'm not into hentai, just good stories.)

I was unable to find even one reference to "Love Syncloid" outside of the ANN review page for Sarai, so does anyone have a link or three to more info on it? I'd like to avoid hentai, please.

Your initial confusion stems from the fact that "Masahrio" is a typo in the review - it should be Masahiro as ought to be fairly obvious, but I honestly can't tell if you were being sarcastic in your initial paragraph.

I'm trying to verify the other page but there's something strange: I couldn't "enter" the site as it redirects me back to a "dummy" page which looks identical to the index page. I'll try accessing it later today.

according to its cover, the correct romanization should be "Love Synchroid" (which makes more sense: "synch" + "roid" (android)). [...] As far as I know Sarai is the only Shibata title licensed in US.
