Oneshot - Brother May I Have Some Oats

This one-shot manga plunges into the bleak reality of two farm pigs, Elias and Silas. When humans—"tall, skinny figures"—toss coveted oats into their pen, it ignites a desperate debate. Naïve Silas sees the oats as divine favor, believing the "shed of no return" leads to feasting with their "tall skinny gods." He eagerly accepts his portion, convinced he's "chosen." However, the observant Elias knows better. He's pieced together a horrifying truth: the extra oats are a prelude to the shed, a place of "terrible things." He recounts being paraded beyond the farm, witnessing humans "consuming our flesh" with "wicked smiles" and "moans of satisfaction"—just like the "furry, red, demon" (fox) that terrorized them. Despite Elias's chilling revelations, Silas dismisses them as a trick to steal his oats, clinging to his delusion. The manga concludes with Elias's poignant acceptance of his brother's blindness, vowing to care for Silas's future offspring, as so many of their family have already vanished. It's a dark, incisive look at hope, delusion, and the brutal cycle of life from the perspective of those destined for the plate.
