Same mangaka Both are few volumes with short stories Extremelly funny and WTF!  

Plastic Girl and Palepoli are made by Usamaru Furuya, and would both not be concidered "manga" at all if Furuya-san later decided to actually do manga. Plastic girl is a short arty piece about growing up, and if it weren't for a few details this could almost be read as a feminist manifesto (due to the few small details it can not though). Just as surrealistic and unconventional is Palepoli, but it is based on humour and actually tries to mimic the 4-koma format (and fails). The bonus part in the end, created when Usamaru Furuya still was in college is the most funniest and most disturbing thing I have ever read, so be sure to check that out.  read more 

Reminiscent in their approach to manga, but with very different tones. Palepoli is also much more accessible. 

Both are made by the same author. They both have moments of brutal violence and gore, usually towards women. 

Collections of surreal stories borderlining between whimsical or straight up weirdo. 

Collections of short, satirical and sometimes nonsensical stories that could be said are deconstruction of manga as a whole. Expect humor that is more likely to be enjoyed by older audience. 

Both manga contain different dreamy/trippy short stories, Palepoli is more comedic, while Shounen Shoujo Hyouruuki portraits common problems in a bizarre yet creative way. Both are made by the same author except Shounen Shoujo Hyouryuuki was written in collaboration with Otsu Ichi, another great similar author.  

Anthology of short works by Furuya Usamaru. Both are unconventional manga with non-traditional artstyle, panelling and storytelling, going beyond the usual manga limits. If you're looking for something different, these two might be worth to check out. 

In some ways, these two 4coma manga have the same sense of humor. They're both offbeat, sexual, and sometimes gross, and fans of unusual adult humor will probably enjoy them both.
