I hope you're enjoying get/together! I couldn't make it this year.
I have all of What Did You Eat Yesterday from 1-17 except volume 8, which is hopefully arriving soon! It's definitely my favourite Yoshinaga series (although I do have a sneaking fondness for the Antique Bakery editions with the scratch&sniff covers).
Kurosagi is horror; it's a bunch of underachieving university graduates, most of whom have some sort of strange real or unreal power (dowsing for corpses, hacking, seeing ghosts, being possessed by a hand puppet who is actually a foul-mouthed alien etc), who team up to sort out problems with dead bodies. It is black comedy and also has the most amazing translation notes that really dig into (!) the context and world of the stories. (it's the only manga I've seen even attempt to deal with Japan's WWII medical experimentation units, although most of their storylines are contemporary)
