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.

I've actually been reading this on WebToon and have been enjoying it! So you bet when I got the NetGalley ARC I was excited!!!

Davina is a young woman who has been working at a very special nanny agency. One so special that each nanny has their own special skills, such as hacking computer systems, karate, self defense and so on. Davina is hired by Gabriel Angelini, the heir the Italian mafia to be the nanny of his son Mikey and due to her specialty in cybersecurity. She begins to care for Mikey and tries to make sure that he doesn't get involved in the mafia business as he wants to because he wants to be like his father. Gabriel sees that he can begin to trust Davina to care for Mikey even though he doesn't know her so well and knows she is hiding something from her past. All he knows is that Davina will do anything to keep Mikey safe even if it means to keep him away from family, even himself. Davina slowly gets in too deep with the family business and it becomes too close to her heart.
Mikey is a RIOT. He is so funny and grumpy trying to be a big man when he's just a little boy. He wants to grow up so bad and Davina does a good job with trying to let him and make him enjoy his childhood. It's a great relationship between the two of them and the chemistry between Davina and Gabriel is HOT!

I can't wait to keep on reading as more chapters or volumes come out!

Tropes:
Single dad x Nanny
Mafia
Boss x Nanny
Forbidden love
Opposites attract

4/5 stars

When I first read The Mafia Nanny on Webtoon, I was immediately captivated by the art style and the dynamic between Davina and Mikey. It’s got action and fun character interactions. The art is simple, yet eye-catching. It’s not overly anime but still stylized.
The found-family vibes are immaculate. Mikey is hilarious and I love how Davina gets under his skin.

It can be hard to change from the online scroll format to the page format. Sometimes the readability suffers, and readers don’t know what order to read the panels. The Mafia Nanny does it very well! I always knew what to read next. I flew through the story so quickly! I can’t wait to see what the physical copy looks like.

Thank you lovely authors, artists, and Webtoon for the ARC copy!

First off Mikey is so cute and second I can’t wait to see what happens with the Nanny and Gabriel. She is a whole badass and I love it. I’d definitely want her on my side! But what is Gabriel hiding 🤨

My only gripe with this is that its soooo short. I needed more! The art and story are amazing. Definitely pick this up in print form if youre into mafia slow burns. Thank you to Wattpad, Webtoon, and Netgalley for the ARC!

This was a great read. I enjoyed the story and was immediately intrigued by the premise of her parent’s secret.

I’ve read many webtoons, and I think this one was excellent. It captures a lot of different genres and emotions very well.

The FMC is the incredible and the coolest. I look forward to reading the rest of the series.

This Manga had me hooked from the very beginning. An academy to make ninja-spy type nannies? Say no more. I finished in one sitting. I couldn't put it down. The man that hired her I feel like he's got something he is hiding. She has a past that no one knows about and is on a mission of some sort and this position is suppose to help her. The ending was a cliffhanger so I am in need of the next one so bad. I can see that this is going to be a series worth collecting. I am invested and can't wait for more.

While I’ve read a few chapters on Webtoon, this first volume of the action-romance Webtoon is off to a fun start. It jumps straight into an exciting mix of action and comedy that keeps readers engaged from the start. There's a nice buildup of tension between the main characters, and Mikey’s witty remarks add a lot of charm. The double-agent plot adds an intriguing twist, and I’m looking forward to reading more of this series.

Thank you Wattpad Webtoon Book Group and Netgalley for the ARC!

I've read this on Webtoon so I was excited to see that a physical book is coming out. The only reason why I gave it four stars is because I expected there to be more in the first volume. While it has been a while since I've read a physical comic book, it just seemed like not a lot happened. Maybe it's because I know how the rest of the story goes?
But overall, I loved reading it again.

Really enjoyed this fun look at a nanny who is skilled at everything!
The art was great and well designed, while the plot and dialogue was funny and interesting. The creator was able to blend both so neither outpowered the other.
I like the plot of the single father who needs a nanny to protect his son from being kidnapped by competitors in the mafia space and watching that young boy having to act too old for his age. Finally, when he's able to be a kid with a nanny, he struggles to allow himself some quiet and his nanny isn't normal enough for him.
We have three very intelligent main characters that draw the reader in and I feel like the complex situation of her background vs who the family is adds to the slight melancholy feel in the background of the story. Why do I have a feeling this series isn't going to have a happily ever after? I don't know, but it's meant I'm going to keep reading!

I really liked the concept of this graphic novel. The fact that you can hire a nanny who is trained in combat fighting, cybersecurity and other unusual skills to look after kids who are in the mafia is interesting. The artwork is also great and I am interested in seeing where this series goes.

Did I request this even though I've read it already via the Webtoon app? Absolutely, because I love this comic!
This volume is only the first 12 episodes but it does such a great job of pulling you into the story. The foundations of this series are great, and the characters are all layered and interesting. There's a fantastic balance between drama and comedy, with the author always able to add moments of levity to break up the darker plot points. I'm not even a mafia romance fan, but this one has me completely enthralled to the point where I read 50 episodes in a day. The slow burn is deliciously slow burning, but the rest of the plot also has me engrossed. I'm at the point where I just really need my friends to read it so I have someone to talk to about it.
Oh, and if Mikey isn't your favorite character, you're wrong. Try again.

Thank you to Wattpad, Webtoon, and Netgalley for the ARC!

I need the rest of this series as soon as possible. I was laughing from the very start. Mikey is hysterical and I love his big personality. The art style is very beautiful and lends itself so nicely to the storytelling. I am so excited to continue these stories.
