Summary
Virtual Strangers (also known as My Guildmate Next Door) is a BL/comedy/adventure manhwa written by ANGELA, illustrated by Bijak, and based on the original novel by HoneyTrap .
Yoon Ji-gu, a guarded man who becomes suspicious of his new neighbor, Lee Yeo-woon, after a past stalking incident. Ji-gu assumes the worst—“Looks like there’s a pervert living next door…”—but Yeo-woon is just a regular guy trying to land a job and enjoy his downtime. Their real-life tension escalates, but unbeknownst to them, they’ve already formed a bond in the MMORPG Illusion, where they play as guildmates under the usernames Ji9star and neutaaaa. As their online and offline lives begin to intertwine, misunderstandings, awkward encounters, and unexpected chemistry lead to a slow-burn romance filled with humor and heart. It’s a story about trust, healing, and the strange ways people connect—sometimes through a screen, sometimes across the hall.
