The marriage of manga artist Ako and journalist Hiro is on the rocks and a divorce is imminent. Yet Ako and Hiro can’t agree on who should receive custody of Kenta, their cat. Annoyed by their indecision, their new partners put a plan into action. This uproariously funny generational portrait delivers pointed dialogue, deadpan humor, breezy sex scenes, and premium cat content.
