Bio-horror in Japan from the pov of a duo of doctors/detectives. Both published in 2004, they consist of less than 30 chapters and share similar gore and art. Emerging concentrates on the medical aspect of the outbreak, Manhole covers the investigative side. 

Both are about strange unfamiliar disease, and a bit of romance. But "Gyo" is more the work of fiction and "Emerging" events are more likely to happen.  

Both manga deal with combat against a disease. The differences are that the disease in Emerging has already broken out at the start of the manga, and develops naturally, whereas the disease in Bloody Monday is engineered. Bloody Monday deals with much more government conspiracy than Emerging. 

Both manga are about a spreading Infection that causes lots of people to die. 

The stories are similar because they talk about disasters that may come to happen someday. (or not) 

Both does have large-scale sanitary crisis that is contagious and dangerous as well. The protagonist must have to solve this problem. They similarly have virus slowly spreading itself into the arteries of the Japanese capital that causes death toll rises. 

Although stories of these manga are completely different (apart from the fact that both of them deal with extreme survival situations) both of them are quite short and have the same feeling of urgency and desperation at times. I'm sure that if you enjoyed reading one of them you'll enjoy the other too.
