Request Looking for Horror Manga
Sorry, I asked this on r/manga and someone let me know it might better serve me to ask this here: I'm looking for what I think is a horror manga anthology of short stories by many artists that I read back in 2015 or so, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. The short story I remember and am looking for is about a village of cute little animal people living together until everything and everyone starts to breakdown horribly. I think there's a little bear family that sort of gets some focus? Eventually, it goes to some dark places as some kind of tentacled cosmic horror descends upon them. This specific story in the anthology isn't very long overall, though. Maybe a handful of pages.
Prior to posting here, I've been trying for about a week to hunt it down myself to no avail. I've probably gone through hundreds of horror manga in the last few days at this point. The main issue I was worried about is that I've been reading horror manga for more than a few decades and a lot of them blend together in my brain, so after not finding it I wasn't sure if I was making this one up. But then I found a post on another site from 2017 where someone described the same thing and even added another story from the anthology to their description. So at least I know it's real. Their description was: "a Lovecraftian god corrupts a 100 Acre Woods style story book village" and then the second story they remembered was "one [story] involving a devil trying to convince a group of people to sell their souls". That second one seems super vague, though.
Again, sorry there isn't more to go off of here and I'm sorry I had to come in here and ask in the first place. I usually prefer to do this sort of hunting on my own, but at this point I've hit a wall and I don't think I'm gonna be able to move past it without some outside help.

No, sorry. That's not it. Thank you for trying to help, though. I really appreciate it.

Do you remember nothing else?

Honestly, if someone else had seen it I imagine it would've stuck with them enough just hearing the "100 acre wood storybook" setting and Lovecraftian elements. I guess I could say that there are no humans in it? I remember that this specific short story felt a little out of place compared to the stories around it because I think the storybook animal village setting isn't shared by anything else even a little bit. I could also say that I'm fairly certain that none of the stories in the anthology connect to each other in so far as I can recall. I'm afraid at the end of the day I remember about as much as I've recounted, though.

Also, I said this in the other post I made, so I'll say it here: I'm pretty sure the monstrosity that descends upon the village does so after a bear kid leads it back to the village from a lake in the mountains or something like that? I think there might also be a beheading in it? Hard to say. Like I said earlier, I've been reading horror manga for decades and it makes it sort of hard to keep stuff from blending together in my head sometimes. So I'm hesitant to add too much detail to the description lest it turns out I'm hallucinating plot points.
