Another "can't find" from Kobo. I bought this one a couple of days ago, and even tried manually adding the ISBN listed on its Kobo page:

I then realized I hadn't added book 2 in the series, so did that one, and Calibre did find metadata - from Amazon. A pox on Kobo for breaking this very useful plugin!
