My Heart is Beating definitely has an outstanding story and setup that can relate to many of its viewers. From strict parental expectations to a deluded interest for their boyfriend, the characters were built based on the lives of real people. As eccentric as the synopsis may sound, the swim suit fetish develops the story into a 3-dimensional dilemma.

Don't be turned off-- the usual use of genres such as cross dressing and perverted fetishes were changed into something more serious and plausible, and definitely does not meet your usual expectations of these types of stories.

As far as the art goes, the artist definitely manipulated the use of tone in their scenery. You could be seeing blues one chapter and vibrant hues the next; it really sets up the proper atmosphere. Personally speaking, I really liked how the eyes were drawn in a semi-realistic way.

Within these thirty chapters, the author did a good job on selecting a few characters and giving his/her best on developing them. They had me emotionally moved, since as I had said before, the characters were very close to life. Even the personalities of all the members of the Water Polo team were just like your usual pet peeves of group projects-- incompetent, fussy, and bossy.
