I don't blame you if you don't know who he is, but he's produced some really beautiful mangas, three of which take place in the same world. The connecting threads are that there are Sky Golems that rain destructive beams onto a land of animal people and hybrids called Variants, and are pretty much being responsible for everything bad within the stories.

The Jackalope, or Tsunousagi, is the first of Sho's published mangas, focusing on Jacka, a rabbit boy with a beetle horn on his head and self-proclaimed hero of his town. Together with his friends Topo and Algernon, they protect the town and help the citizens. However, a strange mouse man named Beatha takes notice of Jacka's horn...

Jackalope is currently only available in Japanese and it seems like there's not going to be an official English translation anytime soon due to copyright issues with the publisher.

Following that, Pandemonium: Wizard Village is about a cat named Zipher stumbling upon the titular Wizard Village and begging the Variant inhabitants to revive his dead lover with their supposed magics. This one has been fully fan translated into English and several of the characters reappear in the next manga. There's also a fandub on Youtube currently in progress.

Flower Knight Dakini follows Eiden, an artist struggling to find inspiration after a Sky Golem attack leaves him traumatized. In a chance encounter, he meets Dakini, a strange little girl that he discovers can destroy the golems. Sho has stated this will be the culmination of the previous two stories, as well as the end of the Sky Golems and whomever created them. This is also the first time Sho has gotten an official English release, so make sure to support him. The English version is available on Kindle Unlimited for free.

Out of curiosity, does most of his works have page yet?

None of them have pages yet, but I hope that more people will be made aware of them once they do.

Oh hopefully some people will notice his works :D There should be a hidden gems in there. Also, I wonder what are the genres that he specialize in?

They seem to mainly be dramas. Jackalope is a slice of life that becomes a drama in the second half, Pandemonium is a drama/love story, and Dakini is more action-focused than the other two likely because just from the brief actions scenes in them, Sho really has a knack for drawing high energy moments. Since there's no scans of his Komasan manga, I don't know its genre.

Makes sense. I actually read some mangas in Mangarock and so far, there are the only 2 mangas from him that got translated but haven't read it yet.

I've started a page for Pandemonium. I could use some help with it.

Not a bad effort of creating those pages. Unlike me who has to go on Get Help With English thread for fixing my grammars sad

Also, ngl despite the characters from Sho Shibamoto are anthropomorphic animals, I found them very charming and cute. Maybe like Made in Abyss art

The Kickstarter is live

I was originally going to go for a monochrome sketch illustration, but Sho seems to have dialed back to just five color sketches to reduce his workload.
