Before i start, sorry if my english not that great. bear with me here.
Have you ever felt the weight of expectation and hope by the people around you? If yes, you know how it feel. This manga represent that feeling of expectation and pressure that we face in our daily life. I feel how this manga is a bit realistic (other than a guy who is cross dressing).

First of all, to make it clear, this is a Korean Manga, or know as Mahwa. Second of all, for me to call this manga a gender bender genre is quite heavy for me it is better to ... known this as cross dressing. I know most of people (including myself) try to skip any manga related to gender bender, but anyone who love shonen romance manga should give the manga a chance.

~.It has a bit of spoiler but i will try my best not to expose to much.~

STORY (8) - My Heart Is Beating story revolves around our MC, Bae Sugu an average student who has a father as the vice principal of his school. He weight the expectation of his father to be the top student and enter a good college after school. This cause his life to be in a standstill. He doesn't know what to do with his life. Until he met a girl with tears on her eyes. This where his life changes. Due to certain circumstances he was force to enter the school Polo Team while cross dressing and teaming up with the girl. This manga tell the story of HIM, HER AND THEIRS expectation. It really hit a nail on that side. Well, it has some comedy in it, and it is enjoyable.

ART (9) - Its beautiful. That the only thing i could say. Well, i could say more because i love how mahwa (korean manga) draw their character. Its beautiful in colors and drawing. It draw in a 1 page long with beautiful coloring and scene plot.

Character (8) - There are a few characters and each character will leave an impact on you, even thou they story are told in short scene. Each character has their own weight of expectation on their shoulder and this really make the story really interesting as it foretold the story and how they outcome their expectation.

Enjoyment (8) - I really don't enjoy much a genre with gender bender in it. But come to my surprise really enjoy this manga. Because it doesn't focus much on that genre as it more to show slice of life genre and romance.

Overall (8) - One of the best manga/Mahwa i read that should have been given much credit for it slice of life realistic plot and with that romance and comedy.

(BTW- The mahwa has a manga remake called Water Cube. Well it Basically the same plot, just the name are more to japanese name as maybe the mangaka want to tackle the japanese manga market)

I've read and watch all 3 version of the Golden Time, Light Novel, manga and Anime. So, i would like to recommend anyone that like the current air Golden Time anime, should read the Light Novel version and Manga version.Each different version show a different way of presenting the plot but the plot is followed as original from the Light novel.

The Manga version of the Golden Time are a bit different than the other version because the way it present the plot are more to comedy/romance. Unlike the Anime and Light Novel version, there are less comedy and more serious in the conversation.

STORY: Rating ... 8
I've foreseen the story to be a love triangle. Guy A likes girl A. Girl A like Guy B. without realizing his real feeling guy B actually likes girl A. But the way it present the story is quite good. I bet you will love the story line.
ART : Rating 6
Well, the art for the manga are quite disappointing as the anime art are really really good. It might has a cute character art but it doesn't live up to the expectation.
Character: Rating 7
Well, the character was well build but.. it doesn't followed the real characteristic of the main character especially the Male main character. He should has the characteristic of humble but in the manga he seem to bow down toward the female main character.
Enjoyment: Rating 8
Well, as i said it mainly present the plot more to Comedy so, it is quite enjoying to read.
Overall : The story is quite good as i read the Light novel and anyone who likes "Romance" based type of anime/manga should give the manga a chance.

Have you ever felt that "How Hard you Tried in something but in the End you end up failing. But You're friend who were born genius get everything he/she wanted and become successful?" This story really touch my heart especially i could related it to myself as an underachiever.

When i first started the anime, i stop watch it after episode 1 because it too confusing. But then i read a few review and give it another go. This is where i got suck into it.

Sakurasou No Pet na Kanojo a heartwarm about friendship, romance, live, and differences of the people who live together under one ... roof.
