In a world where pet dogs and cats are humanised, who really owns whom?

Due to a declining birth rate, pets are being transformed into humanised members of society. But are they truly human? Or are humans truly animals?

When a feral group of crowpeople terrorises our friends, the dark history behind the humanisation of animals begins to unravel. Then, Taika has a disturbing flashback about Ao’s father. And the gang goes on a movie date together. Who is more jealous of whom, the humans or the humanised?
