I think the title speaks for itself. So let's talk about such manga. I hope "exceedingly obscure and weird" is self-explanatory, but stuff like Gantz, Berserk and Bobobo Bo-bo-bo fail on the obscurity part (and I hate to break it to you, Bobobo Bo-bo-bo is pretty much taking the piss out of bizarre manga).
So, to kick the thread off, here are a couple of descriptions that I found:
The above one is so obscure there ain't even a scanlation.
To be honest, I'm preferring obscure to weird here, so don't be afraid if it's relatively normal if it's (1) really good and (2) nobody has heard of it. Though I think a good competition in this thread would be who can name-drop the most ******** manga.
And though I like disturbing s**t as much as the next guy, please, for God's sake, NO Uziga Waita, OK?

Saitama Chainsaw Shoujo
Kirisaki Fumio's just a highschool girl in love...
...but then she finds out that the guy she's fallen for happens to love someone else.
...so she decides to go out and get a chainsaw.
And take it to school.
And then many things happen.

Manga Sagawa-san
According to CrimeLibrary.com the book Cannibal Killers by Moira Martingale explains that Issei Sagawa was a brilliant student, obsessed with tall Western women and that while studying for an English literature degree at the University of Paris, he became attracted to a German woman teacher. He once said to British reporter Peter McGill that he wondered if he could eat her.
According to CrimeLibrary.com, at one time he entered her house while she was sleeping, but she woke up and her screaming frightened him enough that he left.
Issei Sagawa served time in a French jail for the murder of the Dutch Renée Hartevelt, a classmate at the Sorbonne Academy in Paris. In June 11, 1981, Sagawa was studying avant garde literature. He invited her to dinner under the pretense of literary conversation. Upon her arrival, he shot her in the neck, then began to carry out his plan of eating her. She was selected because of her health and beauty, those characteristics Sagawa believed he lacked. In interviews, Sagawa describes himself as a "weak, ugly and small man" and claims that he wanted to "absorb her energy."
He said he fainted after the shock of shooting her, but awoke with the realization that he must carry out his desire to eat her. He did so, beginning with her hips. In interviews, he noted his surprise at the "corn-colored" nature of human fat. For two days, Sagawa ate various parts of her body. He described the meat as "soft" and "odorless", like tuna. After two days, he dumped the mutilated body in a park, but was seen in the act. Five days later, he was arrested by the French police. However, the French psychologists found him legally insane and unfit to stand trial. Instead, he was deported back to Japan, where he was put in a mental institution. However, the deportation order did not specify how long Sagawa must remain in the institution. Fifteen months later, Sagawa checked himself out, and has been a free man ever since.
Sagawa now lives in Tokyo and is a minor celebrity in Japan. He is often invited as a guest speaker and commentator. He also writes restaurant reviews and in 1992 he appeared in Hisayasu Sato's film Sisenjiyou no Aria (The Bedroom) as a sadosexual voyeur. He admits to still having fantasies about cannibalism, but says he never wants to realize them again. He has even appeared in several 'pink movies', Japanese soft-core porn with an artistic slant. By all accounts, Sagawa is a friendly, cheerful fellow who is more than willing to discuss his crime, especially when it puts money in his pocket. Recently, he's even tried his hand at penning a manga re-telling of the murder, a self-illustrated volume entitled Manga Sagawa-san, published by Okura Shuppan. "My parents wouldn't let me read comics when I was young," Sagawa said in a recent article from Japan Today regarding the book. "To this day, I have never read the more famous ones. So a comic illustrator friend had to teach me everything, from which pens to use to how to segment the story into frames...Actually, you know, I have a lot of female fans. The ones who didn't follow the incident at the time it happened regard me as something of a fairy-tale prince."

Chintsubu
Toride has always loved his cute classmate, Ayase. Due to an accident, Toride's spirit went to Ayase's p***s, a weird couple then was made. They both have feelings for each other, but is it really a blissful thing for a relationship such as this? The accident not only changed Toride and Ayase's life, but also Iwabuchi- the emotionless, and Kamiya- the playboy? Unlike Toride and Ayase's situation, Iwabuchi and Kamiya have their p***s switched, and their p***s can talk?
