Not to my taste at all. I really hated all of the weird depictions of Toru's sex life. Just gross and uncomfortable. Also, the obsession with Naoko's body and the constant sexualization of this character was just so misogynistic and creepy. I felt so disconnected from the main character that I could not enjoy any of the pros. A fairly unpleasant read.
