Ojamajo Doremi Dokkān!
Hana, who wants to be human, uses all of her magic to physically age into a sixth grader. This results in the Maho-Do being transformed into a crafts shop and Hana's magical crystals shattering, requiring Doremi and the others to supply her with the energy needed to become a witch's apprentice. Meanwhile, the Queen discovers Majo Tourbillon's power will eventually cause both worlds to be put to sleep. As such, the Queen tasks the girls, who are assisted by Majo Tourbillon's fairy, Baba, to recreate various handmade gifts that Majo Tourbillon's six grandchildren had made and received from her in order to remind her of the happy times and break the vines imprisoning her. These vines soon start sprouting black flowers that cause people and magical beings alike to be affected with laziness, with the girls enlisting the help of Hana and a white elephant named Pao to put a stop to it.
After resolving Majo Tourbillon's misunderstanding with her grandchildren, she lifts the witch frog curse. She reminds Doremi and the others that if they become full witches, they will live longer than ordinary humans. The Ojamajos decide not to become witches and learn that they can do anything even without using magic, and they combine their respective crystal fragments into a new crystal ball for Hana. The series ends with their elementary school graduation and Majo Rika, having been reverted to a witch, returning Hana to the Witch World. Although they each go their separate ways, their friendship remains the same, and they continue to move towards their dreams.
