It is now official. I think I may have found the weirdest legitimate non-sexual manga in the world. It is called Tramps Like Us. Here is a link to the online scans of it. Weirdest Manga Ever!
Here is the description the site gives
Tramps Like Us is a josei manga series that tells the story of Sumire Iwaya, a journalist whose fiance left her for another woman. Sumire isn't your typical shoujo happy-cute female character; she suffers from depression, anxiety, and likes professional fighting. Sumire bumps into a homeless man one day and for fun brings him up to her house. One thing leads to another, and before you know it, Sumire has a man-pet named Momo! This is a very interesting series that has plenty of comedy and romance at every corner |

| It is still a good manga and worth reading. I am curious though. Does anyone know what the Japanese opinions on the homeless are? I am wondering if the depictions in the manga are a representation of a cultural perspective. Usually manga is very colorful with depictions of Japanese culture. |

When his father passed away, he left behind a wine collection worth a fortune, but in order to inherit it, Shizuku must solve a series of puzzles left by his father to identify 6 wines. His competitor was Tomine Issei, a prominent wine critic, whom his father adopted before his death.

Uzumaki had some creepy/wtf moments. I just read it recently and while I didn't like the ending it had some moments that stuck with me.
Summary from wiki: "The story concerns the inhabitants of the small Japanese town of Kurôzu-cho as they become obsessed by the occurrences of natural and artificial spirals around them".
