I can’t say no to a hot mafia dilf. This is the perfect blend of action, humor and spicy tension. the characters are instantly like-able and the art is wonderful!
I truly love this series so so much; I cannot get enough of it. It has beautiful tension and thrill! And has a great balance of action, comedy, and a little bit of romance. I started binging this on webtoons one night and have read it multiple times. Highly recommend 10/10!!
ARC was given by NetGalley & WEBTOON Unscrolled.

I had seen this webcomic floating around for quite a bit and for some reason never took a chance on it. That is until now... Did I end up running to Webtoons to power read all the available panels for this webcomic? Yes, yes I freaking did and have zero regrets! This was so freaking good! I love all the characters, I desperately want to know more about Davina and her parents, I love the relationship that's blooming between Davina and Mikey, and I freaking adore how Mikey loves ducks! There's so much I could freaking say about this first volume, but then I'm worried it'll go into spoilers. If this has been on your radar for a while, you like mafia romances, revenge stories, then you should pick this webcomic up ASAP and thank me later for giving you that little push you needed!
All thoughts, feelings, experiences, and opinions are honest and my own.
i absolutely adored this graphic novel, i binged the whole thing.
deff perfect for everyone who loves single dad x nanny trope and mafia, it was exactly like those kinds of books but in graphic novel form and that made it soo much better.
There was action, there was humor, there was intrigue. Mafia Nanny is an immersive story about a young woman with a dark past, seeking to protect her charge while trying to figure out her enigmatic employer. I predict there may be romance between them in the future??? While I likely won't be continuing this series, I enjoyed the journey.
I raced right through this in one sitting! What an interesting plot. Definitely didn't see a lot of the twists coming, and the art is very pleasing.
This webtoon absolutely delivers, and I can totally see why it’s so popular. Every character is charismatic and likable, but Mikey—sorry, the milkman—is especially adorable and steals the show. This volume strikes the perfect balance between being lighthearted and maintaining just the right amount of tension.
Even though it’s fast-paced with lots of action, the romantic tension between Davina and Gabriel is just as intense. Their chemistry really adds another layer to the story, making it all the more addictive.
The title and cover might come off as a bit cheesy, but it looks like were going to get a really good story. Overall, this is such a fun and engaging read, and I’m so happy they decided to publish this one!

I picked this one up on a whim - I've been slumpy and was looking for something fun and easy to read. Well, mission accomplished 😂. The romance hasn't come into play yet but it was fun getting to know the characters and seeing their initial interactions. I chuckled several times at Davina's tactics to get Mikey to collaborate. Not gonna lie, Gabriel (Mikey's dad) also has me 👀👀👀. All in all, the storyline has been a tad predictable so far but I'm curious to see how the story develops in vol 2.
A huge thanks to the Wattpad Webtoon book group and NetGalley for the ARC. All opinions are my own.
firstly, thank you to the publisher for an arc!!
UGH i need volume two NOW! i mean who doesn’t love a good mafia x nanny romance, with a dash of satire and mystery supporting the plot? not to mention gabriele is a literal dilf… lol
I read this story as a webtoon story. I love this story and loved seeing that it will be published. This book has action, drama, and romance! Everything you want in a story.
Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC!
If you enjoy Spy X Family, then Maria Nanny is absolutely for you. We have a badass FMC with a vendetta, an adorable kid who only wants to wear suits, and his father who happens to be the head of the mafia. There’s action, tension, banter, and suspense. What else could you ask for? I’ve actually been reading this series on Webtoon and I’m so excited to see that it’s going to be published as a graphic novel!
Thank you for the opportunity to read this webtoon in full rather than in disjointed chapters due to my struggles with collecting enough coin to unlock the next chapter. I have already read a few chapters of The Mafia Nanny before I received NetGalley access, so I knew already that I liked the premise and the first 3 chapters. I feel that this story is a bit less romance and a lot more mystery than I had first presumed it would be when I first began reading. I think the cutoff point/cliffhanger at the end of the book/chapter was perfect. Just enough that I want to read more and will be willing to buy the next book if it is available soon OR force myself to spend my precious coins/inks/gems/etc. on the next chapters.
The characters are beautiful and I love that the child, Mikey, is not just an afterthought to push the story along because the main character, Davina, is a nanny. I did think the pacing was too slow for me, especially the middle chapters at times, but I have to remember that there are more chapters. I just want to know everything all at once!!!
**special thank you to the publisher for providing a copy of this ARC for an honest review**
(proceeds to squeal while kicking legs)
😭😭😭😭😭 This was so good you guys.
I was so excited to receive a copy of this ARC, I absolutely love this series and I'm so happy for the authors and illustrators for getting a publishing deal. It's well deserved success 👏🏻 👏🏻
Mikey is the absolute cutest little boss and the tension between Gabriel and Davina IS SO HOT 🔥 can't wait to read the rest of this series.

Mafia Nanny quickly became one of my favorite webtoons of all time. The storyline flows seamlessly, striking the perfect balance between action and romance. It's rare to find something that feels both wholesome and keeps me on the edge of my seat the entire time. Absolutely 10/10!
When I first finished this, I instantly wanted to draw comparisons to Spy x Family. In retrospect, I think that’s only because this series is a comic with a crime-based found family premise. But that’s where the similarities stop. The MC, despite having her own motivations for infiltrating this mafia family as a nanny, feels oddly blank slate to me. The same kind of smooth, surfaceless female leads you see in Wattpad - made to be an easy self insert but with remarkable abilities (ie. hacking) that help move the story along.
That being said, I didn’t hate this. I can tell it’s setting up a romance between the mafia dad and the nanny MC but in reality the most interesting relationship is his son’s grudging friendship with the nanny. Maybe I’m just a sucker for seeing someone step into a parental role for a grumpy kid who actively wants to reject them.
Thank you to the publisher Webtoon Unscrolled for providing an e-ARC via NetGalley for an honest review.
This is one of my favorite Webtoons ever and I'm so glad it is being published and getting the love it deserves. A perfect mix of comedy, mystery, and romance, The Mafia Nanny follows Davina in her first nanny assignment with the notorious mafia boss Gabriel Angelini and his son, Mikey.
I like that Davina has her own connection to the mafia and part of the story revolves around her discovering what happened to her family, but we also see the current mafia drama with the Angelinis. Mikey is a crazy little kid who just wants to be like his dad, which is considerably dangerous given the circumstances. So they get to do fun things at home where it is safe, like pool day!
I love the art style and overall vibes.
I enjoy the series on Webtoon and I think this would be popular at my library. I would suggest it for fans of Spy x Family but with some more romantic elements.
Really good setup for the first volume. Seems like everyone will have to watch their back as everyone seems to have ulterior motives.
This graphic novel was a fun time. There’s a nanny who’s a bad ass, a four year old who loves suits and everything mafia related, and a single dad who’s the underboss to the Don of the Venetian Mafia. This was the perfect mix of action, angst, humor, and heartfelt moments. Plus, the art style was beautiful.
WEBTOON has the best graphic novels and I love seeing them turned into physical copies so they can be out in the world. Thank you NetGalley and Wattpad for gifting me with this ARC.
I was instantly interested and wanting to know what would happen from the very first pages! The Mafia Nanny is fast paced, full of action and mystery, I loved it and can't wait for more volumes! Great Illustration style and story 5/5 stars.
