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!

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.

I kept seeing ads for The Mafia Nanny (Vol. 1) everywhere, so I finally gave in—and I’m so glad I did! The story follows Davina, a smart and resourceful nanny, who takes a job caring for Mikey, the cheeky son of brooding mafia boss Gabrielle Angelini. Between the sizzling tension with Gabrielle and Mikey’s mischievous antics, this book had me hooked from start to finish.

The illustrations were a standout—they’re hilarious and added so much personality to the story. Whether it’s Davina’s awkward moments or the chaos of adjusting to Gabrielle’s intense world, the art made everything even more entertaining.

I loved the dynamic between the characters. Davina’s strength and wit make her an incredible lead, Gabrielle brings just the right mix of danger and vulnerability, and Mikey adds humor and heart to the story. It’s the perfect mix of romance, action, and laughs.

A huge thanks to @wattpadbooks and @netgalley for the ARC! If you’re into mafia romances with high stakes, sharp humor, and characters you’ll fall in love with, The Mafia Nanny is definitely worth picking up. I can’t wait to see what happens next with Davina, Gabrielle, and Mikey!

I enjoyed this read and I have to say this was an amazing start to a series.
I can't wait to continue

The Mafia Nanny seemed like such a wackadoodle premise that I couldn’t help but be intrigued. Davina is not only a professional nanny, she’s also trained in hand-to-hand and weaponry. She was determined to protect her client’s children no matter the cost. She was handpicked for her first case out of the academy by mafia underboss, Gabriel Angelini. I liked the art design and the wardrobe in this comic despite the nutty plot. It absolutely tickled me that the father loved to relax by the pool in a speedo. Who am I to deny the swimwear proclivities of Italians? The biggest issue I had was the son was supposed to be four years old but he acted twice his age with a vocabulary to match. It was highly unrealistic and he still would have needed a nanny as a third grader. Perhaps it was to show his vulnerability and need for his father? I liked the light flirtation between the underboss and the nanny, but I was disappointed there was no liplocking by the end of this first volume. Perhaps we’ll get one in the next collection, although I'm not sticking around to find out. This was a cute comic yet it wasn’t engaging enough to keep me interested. I’m willing to try webtoons comics in the future and hopefully they can hook me more than the Mafia Nanny.

I was hooked right from the start! The storyline is fast-paced and full of action, charm, and mystery, making it hard to put down. The artwork is stunning, and the characters are intriguing, especially Mikey—his tiny suits are absolutely adorable! If you enjoyed Spy X Family, this one is definitely worth checking out.

The Mafia Nanny follows Davina, an elite nanny fresh out of the Elite Nanny Academy. Her first assignment is to protect the young son of Gabriel Angelini, the underboss of the Venetian mafia. But what Gabriel doesn’t know is that Davina has her own hidden connections to the criminal world. The mix of secrets, humor, and action had me on the edge of my seat, and now I need volume two to hurry up!

5 ⭐️

Always saw this on socials and wanted to read it. Now that I have, I regret not reading it sooner!!

This was absolutely fantastic. Beautiful art style, great story so far and hilarious at times.

It’s different from all the other webtoons I’ve read before, and this was such a refresh on them. I need to know what happens next too!!

Thank you NetGalley and Wattpad Webtoon Book Group for allowing me to read the ARC in exchange for a review :)

Hope to see more of this author and story.

I was hooked at the start with this.
I tore through this volume so fast I didnt even realize I was reading. Now i need volume two to hurry up!

The banter between the characters is fantastic. Without giving to much away , you can tell both the FMC and MMC ( the dad ) are holding back on their true motives. The FMC however may not be coming out with her secrets but she truly does want to do her best to protect the kiddo, who by the way is written fantastically. She knows just the way to get him to come out of his shell and show us who he really is and how he's really feeling.

The banter got me hooked but, the story is developing, and you can see layers to all the characters that haven't quite been revealed yet.  

I have tons of questions I cant wait to be answered. Why did he move away from Venice? Was his wife really murdered , if so why is she still thought of as missing? Who were the nannys parents , and what did they do for them to be attacked? How much did the kiddo really see from being with his dad "working" this whole time? Why is the kid the heir and not the dad ? Why did he specifically want her to be the nanny when shes just graduated ?

Thank you NetGalley and Webtoon for providing me with this ARC for an honest review.

A huge thank you to NetGalley and Wattpad WEBTOON Books for an ARC copy in exchange for an honest review!

This was a charming first installment to what I anticipate to be an exciting series. There is plenty of action, charm, and mystery to keep you hooked the entire time. The only thing is that I wish it was longer, since we weren't able to dive into the deep end of the plot quite yet. The artwork was beautiful, the characters were enjoyable, and overall it was a great read. I would recommend this book to any of my romance girlies/guys who enjoy an action-packed adventure!

I am so thrilled to see where the story goes. Especially with Gabriel's character I'm interested to know where his character goes. I also am excited for the possible romance.
