If you liked Homunculus add

...then you might like Oyasumi Punpun add

If you're a fan of Punpun, you can't really go wrong with Homunculus. If Asano's art and composition in Punpun spoke to you, Yamamoto has a similar sort of approach. In terms of art, they're both realistic-looking apart from pivotal distortions of reality and both mangaka use heavy shadows, complex details, etc., to bring out the darkness of certain moments. Speaking of, both manga are extremely dark and psychosexual. In terms of composition, both mangaka like to put emphasis on specific moments and arrange panels in creative ways to really hit their story beats home. Lastly, both manga play with visual representations of mental states. Homunculus is basically all about that while Punpun only explores that visually and detached from the actual story. In my opinion, Punpun is the better manga but if you loved Punpun and you need something similar, Homunculus is exactly what you're looking for. Decide for yourself which one is executed better.
