In the last few episodes of the series Melmo's 19-year-old self acquires a boyfriend, Jiro, who she eventually marries. During the final episode - and several years after Melmo's and Jiro's wedding - Melmo gives birth to a baby girl, in whom resides her late mother's spirit, thus reuniting mother and daughter (and, interestingly, reversing their relationship with each other in the process). Melmo as a 19-year-old is no smarter or more experienced than her 9-year-old self, though at 19 she is given more opportunities to learn about adult matters than she would at the age of nine.
