I've finished it, too. I found the first story somewhat blunt, not really flowing. The last one, honey pie left me, too, a little bit cold, and is probably the one I liked least, while Frog saves Tokio sent a shiver down my spine, perhaps because it got me thinking of mental illness.
But more in general the stories seemed to me a musing over the meaning of life: Komura wonders about it in the first story, in the second one there is a thread that the answer may be in the negative (Junko is only naive and young and learning, while Miyake is so scared of death that he just wants to get it over with), and so on until we get to the last story, which I found "out of character" in the sense that it was the soppiest of them all, while offering a positive outlook on life.
