Are we surprised this was a 5/5 read for me?

If you said no you’d be correct! I jumped on the chance to read this ARC after following the WEBTOON! There is just so much to love here!

From the interesting storyline with its fresh spin on the Nanny trope and it’s absolutely gorgeous art work! It’s a such a breath of fresh air!

I loved the characters and they feel very much fleshed out in the chapters we get in this volume.

I can’t wait for it’s release! ❤️

This is such a fun webtoon (that is still running). It has so many of my favorite tropes🔥

I hadn’t read an action web series before this, so this was a new genre for me to read. It was very fast paced and I got completely sucked into the storyline. There’s mystery and there’s drama and little Mikey brings the cuteness. He’s literally Boss Baby, but with stylish hair and a grown up’s vocabulary haha. I can’t decide who’s cuter- Mikey or Gabriel 🤭

Thanks NetGalley for the read!

Thank you to NetGalley and WEBTOON Book Group for the digital ARC.

Great comic filled with action, comedy, suspense, and mystery. I definitely plan to continue reading this when the rest of the story is released, this was such a great read. Mikey carried this, I loved him so much.

THIS WAS PERFECTION!!!!! If you love manga like Spy Family then you will be in love with The Mafia Nanny. I am absolutely obsessed and can’t wait to see what happens next. Once I finished it i immediately went to see if there is gonna be a physical copy cause I need it 🥹💖 It’s cute, funny and suspenseful.
Davina is a girl who was orphaned at a young age because her parents were murdered by the mafia. She is taken in by her nanny to go attend a school to teach young women how to become the most epic Nannies. Nannies who will learn to protect kids just like Davina.
Her first job upon graduating is for the very family who orphaned her.
Read and see how Davina handles this challenge. You won’t regret picking this up.

Thank you Netgallery for this ARC. This is an honest review.

I loved this book. It was a fun read that helped me destress from my fall semester of college. The book did have some serious moments, but overall, I had a blast reading it! I love the scene where the little boy said yes to wanting chocolate milk while the father said no.

Thank you NetGalley for providing me with the ARC for this webcomic! I genuinely had so much fun with this story. I like the world, characters, and art style. The author balances the different moods of the story well and the story is well paced. I will absolutely be continuing this on Webtoon (where you can read it with no watermarks)!

The Mafia Nanny delivers a thrilling mix of romance, mystery, and action with a unique spin on the organized crime genre. The stunning artwork and expressive character designs by Sh00, Violet Matter, Rouusuu, and Drawniels immediately pull you into Davina’s high-stakes world as an elite nanny entangled with the dangerous yet charismatic Venetian underboss Gabriel Angelini.

Davina is a compelling protagonist—strong, skilled, and determined to uphold her principles while navigating a morally complex world. Her chemistry with Gabriel crackles on every page, creating a slow-burn tension that keeps you turning the pages. Mikey, the young charge at the heart of the story, adds a tender emotional layer, making Davina’s mission to protect him all the more poignant.

The narrative expertly balances suspense and character development, teasing out Davina’s mysterious past and the dangerous secrets surrounding the Angelini family. The action sequences are dynamic and cinematic, while quieter moments allow the characters' vulnerabilities to shine through.

The Mafia Nanny is an addictive graphic novel with plenty of intrigue, heart, and jaw-dropping twists. Highly recommended for fans of crime dramas and romance with a touch of danger.

If The Mafia Nanny isn’t already on your radar, it absolutely should be—especially for anime fans who love action-packed romances with sharp comedic timing and high-stakes drama. This WEBTOON gem, following Davina’s journey from Elite Nanny Academy to the chaotic world of mafia intrigue, is practically begging for an anime adaptation.

The blend of vivid storytelling, layered characters, and fast-paced action is perfect for an anime format. Davina’s resilience and fiery personality, paired with Gabriel Angelini’s brooding charm, would shine on screen, drawing adult viewers into a narrative that seamlessly balances heart-pounding danger with slow-burn romantic tension.

With a gripping storyline that teases secrets from Davina’s past and Gabriel’s dark motives, the anime could deliver complex arcs, dynamic fight sequences, and emotional depth. Add in Mikey’s adorably chaotic presence, and you have the perfect recipe for a binge-worthy series.

The Mafia Nanny deserves to be animated now—because who doesn’t want a mafia romance with equal doses of danger, humor, and heart?

I received an advance copy of this ebook from the publisher for a honest review. This book is well written and the characters are well described. The illustrations are great. The story line is great. I loved every bit of this author’s writing style and I would definitely recommend it to anyone and everyone. It is graphic novel. This book will be in stores on February 4, 2025 for $19.99 (USD).

This was such a cute and entertaining story! This first volume collects episodes 1 through 12. There was a lot packed into these first 12 episodes. I loved the action and the comedy! I’m also a fan of the art style. I know eventually there’s going to be a romance between Gabriel and Davina, and I’m all here for it.

Davina is a strong female main character. She can kick some butt! She also has a caring side. I love the cute bond she forms with Mikey.

This was a great first volume! I can’t wait to read more. I definitely recommend this WEBTOON comic!

Please see my full review in Booklist for a full analysis of this work. Thank you! I appreciate the opportunity to review this manhwa professionally.

WebToons provided an early galley for review.

This collection of the first twelve episodes of The Mafia Nanny webtoon series reads very much like set of animation frames from a 90's anima series. The art style is clean and concise, and the colors are done in a muted pallete that fits the dark and threatening themes of the narrative.

The story has a lot of elements - mystery, action, physical attraction - that play well off of one another to create an engaging story that moves along at a good pace. There is no wasted scenes here. And the volume ends on a nice cliffhanger that will encourage readers to come back for the next round.

I really enjoyed this first installment of The Mafia Nanny! I can't wait to learn more about Davina's past and what's going on with Mikey and Mr. Angelini! I'll definitely be reading volume two!

Thank you Wattpad and Netgalley!

I thought Davina was a kick-a** main character, and I had fun reading about her. And I always have fun reading about a total DILF like this man. The kid reminds me of Ciel from Black Butler, which is actually a plus for me because I ate that series up when I was a wee lass. I had fun, but I don't know if this is anything spectacular. Although I really enjoyed this book, I'm not certain I'll continue reading. I loved the art style and the characters, but the plot thus far has left a little to desire. However, I predict that the volumes will only get better as time goes on.

This book was a great read! The story had a great pace and the characters were well developed. It was very easy to get sucked into the story and in just a few sittings, I was done reading the book!

OMG it only took a few pages and I was already kicking my feet! I absolutely adore Davina and can't wait to learn even more about her and see how her relationships with both Mr. Angelini and little Mikey develops. 🥰

I'm interested to see what possible historical connection Davina and the Angelini's have...to see why she's so resistant to telling Mr. Angelini her backstory. 🤔

This series looks like it's going to be amazing and I can't wait to read more volumes as they release!

This was so fun to read! I’ve had many friends recommend me The Mafia Nanny to read on webtoon but I keep putting it off so I’m so glad I was able to read from Netgalley. The converting from webtoon format to graphic novel is very smooth and panels dont seem cut up randomly. I love the set up the story so far and I’m so intrigued to learn about both of their backstories. I would burn down the world for mikey

This is one of my favorite webtoons so I went into this already knowing the story and everything about it. I love the plot, characters, and art style. I'm so glad that this was physically published and I can't wait to read the next volumes of this great story.

Thank you Netgalley and publishers for the e-arc to review.

Davina's first job is as a mafia kid's nanny-- and things are getting crazier with each chapter! We start with a snippet of her backstory and how it connects to her current job. The main cast is likable from Mikey's childish schemes to Gabriel not being as he seems to be. I'm intrigued with the mafia ties and how the characters bond, so I'm looking forward to the next volumes.
