About I'm Joybo

Here is what I'm Joybo (Wo Shi Jiang Xiaobai) is about, retold in plain terms: a romance, slice of life and drama anime by 2:10 AM Animation (2017). What the story covers: Ten years ago, Jiang Xiaobai lost all his memories due to a traumatic event he no longer remembers. Now working as a trainee in Editorial Office No.2 of Wen Zheng Magazine, a literary periodical based in Chongqing, he is excited to begin a new chapter of his life: in two days.

From there, he gives no thought to his recurring dream of a girl whose face can never clearly see. That evening, one of Jiang Xiaobai's seniors passes him the task of rushing to the airport to escort the idiosyncratic rising author Tong Li, who has returned from America to launch her first serialized novel in Chinese. As punishment for this senior reneging on his own duties, Jiang Xiaobai replaces him as Tong Li's new editor.

In a romance series like this, slow-burn chemistry and believable dialogue are what keep it engaging. If you count yourself among viewers who enjoy relationship-driven stories, put it on your list.
