Dance! Kremlin Palace! is a surreal alternate history of Russia seemingly based on clichés of Russian culture and elaborate puns. Some of it is pretty messed up, but I feel I can safely recommend the first chapter, which revolves around Russian roulette and is fairly devoid of gross imagery. The rest you can find here. The English translation is a work in progress, going up to chapter 8.
For further Shintaro Kago, Same Hat is the place to go. Some of what I consider the best comics by Shintaro Kago are posted there. Check them out below, but once again be aware that they feature sex, nudity and disturbing imagery prominently.
Abstraction [download] - A must-read. A simple comic is progressively mapped onto three-dimensional space. That in itself is pretty strange, but believe me it gets stranger.
Blow-Up [download] - Along the same lines as Abstraction. I feel this would be better to read in print, but it's still pretty amazing.
Multiplication [download] - "Like Abstraction and Blow-Up before it, Multiplication dissects, digests and smears the constraints of sequential art across the walls."
Labyrinth [download] - A story about mazes that is at several points told using mazes. I believe drawing the correct path through some of the mazes reveals pictures (mostly pornography) but I haven't tried it myself.
