This was so fun to read. This is webtoon ep 1-12, for anyone curious. The son was so adorable and just wanted to be like his daddy. I'm excited to see how Davina will continue to care for this family, while also seeking her own answers.
I know this is going to be a great new addition to my manga collection.
This series has sucked me in! I love the mystery element along with the tension filled romance. I can't wait to see what happens next.
After I saw glimpse of this WEBTOON on social media. I knew I just had to read it. I love the storyline so far in the art style of it. I love the fact that you get action mystery. Also, it feels like there’s gonna be a little bit of a romance between the mafia underboss and the nanny. I also love the different facial expressions that all these characters have. And how they expressed their emotions. I like the fact that Davina is a strong, powerful woman. That is trying to figure out what happened in her past and also trying to make sure nothing happens to Mikey. Gabriel’s character is a mystery because you wanna figure out what happened to his wife. And you wanna know what’s gonna happen between Davina and him. Mikey’s character carries so much for him being so young. I also can’t wait to see what his career development will be through this story. I cannot wait to read the next volume of The Mafia Nanny.
Thank you, NetGalley, for the ARC. I really loved this book. The mystery is intriguing, the characters are great, and I'm excited to see the romance develop.
This first book is mostly about the setup, slowly revealing everyone's motives, but doing it in a really fun way. I loved the three main characters: Davina, Gabriel Angelini, and Mickey. Mickey is really cute and fun, especially when he acts all tough and grown up, but then we get to see his kid side too. I'm loving the father-son relationship, and exploring how his father having to leave and deal with work at times is affecting Mickey, probably also influenced by what happened to his mom. Gabriel seems like a great dad, and I love their bond. I also love Davina. Not only is she great with Mickey, being able to redirect a toddler is hard, but I appreciate how she's there for him emotionally, too. She's extremely competent, and I'm very intrigued by her motivations and how she's balancing being a bodyguard nanny while carrying out her own plans. I love when smart character try to outsmart each other, especially when one thinks they've got the upper hand, only to find out it was the other way around.
There were a few instances where directionality of where the character were headed changed between panels and when the arrangement of the panels were laid out to be read top the bottom, left to right instead of left to right then top to bottom, but overall it didn't hinder my enjoyment, just something I noted as someone who's dabbled in comics. Also, once I knew the intended reading order, I could adjust how I read them when I came across those instances.
Overall, I really loved this book. I would definitely recommend it, and I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the series.
I love WEBTOON and I didn’t even know this was on there. I got an ARC of the first few chapters that will be published and was hooked. Finished the ARC in about an hour and ran 🏃♀️ to WEBTOON to see if it was still there and it was. This is about a wealthy girl who lost her parents one night and was protected by the nanny who then took her to an elite nanny school where she trained to become a nanny and protect other children, just like her nanny did to her. Now in her first job she has been hired by a mob underboss to care for his son. But the tension between the two is hot and keeps you wanting to read more. If you’re thinking of picking this up don’t take too long just grab and enjoy.
<b> Thank you NetGalley and Webtoon for this arc! This manga comes out Feb. 5th!! </b>
This one reminds me of spy x family, same energy, which I love. The storyline is basically a nanny who went to a special boarding school for mafia nannying 😂😂 Again this storyline is so cute it was such a fun weekend read!!
The Mafia Nanny started on Webtoon and now is being printed. I loved this story and the start of a mystery adventure within the dark underground of the mafia. If you want some comedy, suspense, and romance, this is the graphic novel for you!
I KNEWWWWWWW IT! Sorry, I needed to get that out when I saw the last page! I guessed something important to the story, at least, I think I did. We’ll see as the story progresses.
This was a perfect, quick read that left me wanting to run to WebToon immediately to continue after I finished the volume!! Which tells me all I need to know about the series as a whole. It’s action-packed to the point where I didn’t stop reading until it was done. Not even to look at the clock and the time just flew on by.
Not only does our MC, Davina, have secrets that she wants to uncover by taking this job, because (not so) funny enough, her parents were killed by the same family she is now working for, but the Angelini family as a whole is full of mystery waiting to be uncovered. As a crime syndicate based out of Venice, Italy, it isn’t normal for the second in command, as well as the heir to the “throne”, to just move to France. There are reasons and I need to know whyyyyyyyyy?!?
Also, Gabriel Angelini isn’t just a snack, he’s the WHOLE MEAL!!!! I would not be ashamed to call him Daddy!🥵
If you take Spy X Family, Mary Poppins, and maybe a bit of The Godfather, mix them all together and add great comedic bits throughout, you’d get The Mafia Nanny.
4.25 stars. The Mafia Nanny is one of my absolute favorite WEBTOON comics and I’m stoked it’s being published! Volume 1 is a great introduction to the characters that you will get to know and love over the course of this comic. This story is the perfect combination of suspense, action, comedy, and the slowest of slow burns that has me ecstatic for any tiny crumb of romance between Davina and Gabriel.
The art is FANTASTIC and adds so much to the story, the chapters are a perfect, satisfying length that more often than not will leave you asking more questions and wanting even more of this epic adventure!
I don’t really have any feedback for this, I enjoyed it so much. A perfect blend of romance and action, with a female lead who is very interesting herself. I have found a new series I love! Thanks for lending me the copy.
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!
