This was an interesting comic! It had humor but also serious themes when needed. It’s something I’m definitely interested in continuing whenever I have the chance.

It was produced very well. No wonder it’s a popular webtoon… The story follows a young boy named Mikey and his nanny Davina. Davina is trained in a specialty nanny program. When she gets hired to work for the Angelini family, she finds her chance to get answers to her past…but her plan might not be so clear-cut as she once thought as she navigates daily life with the Angelinis.

Overall, I enjoyed it quite a bit and I look forward to reading the next installment of the series!

The best way I know how to describe The Mafia Nanny is imagine Midnight Poppy Land and Purple Hyacinth had a baby but increase the humor and action. And so far that formula is working. This volume contains episodes 1-12 of the Webtoon comic (that you can read for free on the Webtoon app). I don't usually go for storylines with kids in it, but it's been good so far. The FL and ML chemistry is still in barely simmer territory and the mafia plot is just getting started. I'll definitely be continuing the comic but I hope the romance takes center stage soon.

I found this to be a unique take of the nanny and mafia style tropes. Had me laughing and excited to keep in reading

I absolutely ADORE this series!! The worldbuilding is wonderful, the artwork is gorgeous, and I was immediately drawn into Davina's story. The tidbits of clues and unraveling mystery are so well paced, and Davina's relationships with the other characters are so good. Gabriel is a fantastic second lead and has his own interesting backstory that I'm dying to know more of. And Mikey (crying emoji, heart emoji) can we talk about how much I love Mikey? He's absolutely precious, and the mafia dad angle is so uniquely done here. I can't wait for the second volume!

Loved it hate that it ended can’t wait till the next volume , to give us alil more romance. The son was cute and love that the female is a bad ass

Wonderful drawings! Great characters, and fast-paced, witty, and endearing plot line. Davina steals the show, Mikey brings the fun, and Gabriel sets off all the right fireworks! The secondary characters have personality of their own that just keeps the entire storyline interesting. 10/10

I really enjoyed the fast paced action, story development and character development. So excited for the next one!

Really good! Love the story! Love the characters. I love mafia stories and this was good. I definitely want to read more of it.

This was so much fun! I love Davina, she is so fierce. The illustrations are nice and I like the character development and the the way the plot takes its turns. It was hard to stop reading until the end.

This was fantastic. I could not put it down once I started reading it. Binged the whole book in one sitting. It was very easy to get into and I already love the main characters with all my heart. The art style is absolutely stunning as well.

I am very excited to read the next volumes!

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the free copy of this book!

This series blends wholesome moments with a touch of the gruesome, creating a unique and engaging narrative.

The characters are well-developed, and the storyline keeps you hooked from start to finish.

The relationship between Mikey and his dad was subpar, and let’s not forget the hot single mafia zaddy! SIGN ME UP!!!

Highly recommended!

After a traumatic childhood event, Davina becomes an elite nanny - with skills that would rival a spy's. When she takes her first assignment - caring for the son of a mobster, Davina vows to protect the child and hopes to discover more about her own past.

This was an unexpected delight. The art and storytelling are magnificent. I can't wait to read the next volume.

4 Stars

Davina became an Elite Nanny with the goal of protecting children so none would ever have to face the same pain she felt when her family was killed. When her first gig not only has a Mafia underboss as her employer, but offers potential access to answers on why her parents were eliminated, Davina is prepared to take on the most professionally and personally challenging assignment of her life. But between juggling constant kidnapping attempts, demands for endless chocolate milk and ice cream, a kid who’ll follow his dad anywhere, including hostile territory, and a Mafia underboss who might actually be . . . anti-Mafia? Davina might’ve taken on an offer she should’ve refused.

I was so excited to read the first volume of Mafia Nanny! It had been advertised to me several times on social media through Webtoon’s app. I’d read all the free chapters and was super interested in where the story was heading. Truly, Mafia Nanny has everything! Action, comedy, cool characters, interesting plot, and just a hint of romantic chemistry. I’m a little disappointed I read it so early because it will make the wait for the second volume that much longer. But, paying to get caught up on Webtoon is always an option too.

While the action in Mafia Nanny rightfully gets center stage, the characters and their relationships really captured my attention. I loved that Davina was so careful to respect Mikey’s wishes when possible and really encouraged him to play and have fun as a kid. Also, her going into Elite Nanny mode was really cool! Mikey was hysterical as such a serious little guy intent on helping his father run the family business, but obviously still needed his stuffed duck and chocolate milk. He brought a lot of comedy to a series that could have easily been very dark. Gabriel was so intense and hard to read, definitely the typical stand-offish male lead, but the mysteries surrounding him were so intriguing! I can fix him, no really I can!

If you’re looking for a solid romance webtoon with a slow burn relationship and a healthy dose of action, Mafia Nanny is the perfect fit! I had a blast reading this series and I hope you will too!

Mafia Nanny will be available to purchase at your local bookstore beginning February 2025, or chapter by chapter on the Webtoon app now. Be sure to check out @wbywattpadbooks for info on all their newest releases.

Thank you NetGalley and WebToon for the ARC.

I was originally drawn to this WebToon because of the art style because for me that is the first thing that can make or break any manga/graphic novel for me. I love the character style of the color saturation.

I greatly enjoyed the story, so many times these types of WebToons can turn a bit too leaning into the troupes and lose one originality but the authors didn’t fall into this trap. The snarky comedy, mysteries and hopefully growing romance has me ready to head over to the webtoons app and read every chapter that is out already.

I hope they continue to turn them into printed novels because I love that way of reading them on the go.

I have been following along this story since it was published on the webtoons app, so I am thrilled to learn it is getting a physical release! This is such a wonderful mafia suspense story with hints that it could turn into a romance... which has me very eager. There is definitely a fair amount of foreshadowing in this volume about Davina's past and how the Angelini crime family might have been involved so I'm curious to see how this plays out and if her own history causes issues for her job at protecting her charge. Also I just have to say the young master is so stinking cute with his little suits and his ducky's. ughhh such a great story and I can't wait for the rest of this story to come out!

Thank you for the E-ARC!

As someone who reads this story everyone it updates on WEBTOON, I tried to pretend I was a first time reader. I absolutely love the Mafia Nanny story as it’s not exactly the typical “romance” mafia book. It has so much heart and Davina truly cares about caring for Mikey. Her training shines and seeing it is just magnificent. The dialogue and the art really compliment each other. Though I wish it contained 1-2 more episodes in this version, I did enjoy it and I think the general public will as well!

Reading this one on WEBTOON.Happy that I can put this one on my shelves and hopefully this one being bundled means more people will get to read this series. This is such a good WEBTOON.

Thank you to netgalley for this arc!

I'm so happy that this is getting published in book form. I technically have read some chapters already on Webtoon, and I do think the vertical scrolling format is better, but I imagine that having this in actual shiny book form will be awesome because the art is good.

The world is awesome and in a way, reminiscent of many spy books of my younger years that I used to be obsessed with. It's funny, it's cute, it's dark at times. I read a review that said it was like Spy x Family and I agree with that, but maybe a tad darker and rougher. Overpowered but not invincible characters make for an interesting story and the concept of a super skilled nanny academy situation is cool.

I love the main character, and the dad and child are both great too. The main character isn't a damsel in distress but also isn't completely invincible which is a nice balance. There's tension throughout and a good bit of mystery as to each character's background. I would recommend this book to pretty much anyone unless they're prejudiced against comic books or something. Looking forward to seeing more from this author.

This was intriguing and fun to read. Fun feels like the wring word because of the gruesome nature if the Mob but the interactions with Mikey and his Nanny are the best. I am very intrigued to see how this story unfolds.

I really enjoyed this one, and am looking forward to future installments.
I loved the stubborn little kid, but he still has a childish soft side. The grumpy mafia dad. And the new elite nanny having to protect everyone.
