The Mafia Nanny, Vol. 1

The Mafia Nanny #1

by SH00 (Creator), Violet Matter (creator), Rouusuu (creator)

For fans of romances with dashes of action and comedy, this hit WEBTOON comic with over 1.7 million subscribers follows Davina on her first assignment out of the Elite Nanny Academy: protect the young son of notorious mafia underboss, Gabriel Angelini.

Being an Elite Nanny is simple: protect the charge, obey the principle, and don’t get emotionally attached.

This is easier said than done when Davina’s first client is a dangerously compelling Venetian underboss who’s determined to get under her skin. What he wants from her, she can’t imagine, but Gabriel Angelini drags her back into the glittering world of organized crime she thought she’d left behind forever.

Davina might get answers about her past if she digs deep enough, but her challenges will be protecting Mikey from his father’s ambitions and keeping her heart from getting tangled up in their treacherous web.

This volume collects episodes 1–12 of the smash hit WEBTOON series The Mafia Nanny.

Genres: Romance, Manga, Graphic Novels, Manhwa, Comics, Contemporary, Fiction

288 pages, Paperback

webtoon Ep [1-12]

So fun and enjoyable, the kid is so moody it was actually adorable and funny he’s so grumpy, and his daddy is hot 😘
I also loved how strong and smart Davina was. Part of me heal every time i see badass girls!! But as much as this was fun I don’t think I’ll continue this webtoon for now.

This series seriously has me in a chokehold. I started it thinking it’d just be a fun little mafia romance, but it’s SO much more. There are so many cute and hilarious moments mixed in with the darker, action-y mafia stuff. It somehow perfectly balances the unique storyline. Super entertaining. The mafia underboss is ridiculously hot, a badass hacker nanny, and the baby… oh my god, the baby is the actual star. Literal boss baby energy: adorable and lowkey terrifying 😂. I didn’t know I needed this combo in my life until now. I'm legit counting down the days for the next Webtoon update.

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

Thanks to my insomnia, I binged this entire WEBTOON in hours and finished the current chapters at 3am. NO REGRETS.

Sizzling, slightly brutal, with lovely found family vibes and the underlying romantic tension is ELECTRIC. I appreciate that this comic doesn’t shy away from the ugliness of the mafia and the twisted choices that come from being trapped in that world.

One of my new favourites and I’ll just be over here weeping until the next chapter releases.

5/5! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Looooooooooved this!

Mafia. A badass nanny. A cute little kid in a suit. A hot, single dad. Romance. Tension.
This was such a fun webtoon, and was a great mix of action, banter and heartfelt moments. If you like Spy x Family, you will love this! I really enjoyed the art style, and it complemented the story perfectly. Will definitely be reading the next ones!

Thank you to Netgalley, the author and publisher for a chance to review this arc!

Davina, a recent graduate of the Elite Nanny Academy, has just landed her first official assignment. She’s been hired as a nanny/bodyguard for the precocious four-year-old son of a notorious mob boss. Do I even need to mention that the kid is hilarious and the boss is a super-hot single dad?

This manga is definitely not going for realism. It has a heightened, often silly plot and delivers lots of laughs. I definitely recommend this one for fans of Spy X Family! I’m looking forward to following this series.

I finished SOTR knowing I that I’ll be in a slump if I pick up any book and try to get into it so i decide to get out of my comfort zone and I read this and oh my god that was the best decision ever I’ve already seen so many good reviews about it so I said why not try something new

This was perfect it has everything I didn’t know I needed
It fed my hunger for a slow burn and with the single dad trope 🥺😩

The characters are chef kiss all of them
Especially the son 😭 he is such a funny character i love him and his dad and Davina they are literally perfect

Even the side characters are soo good.

This still on going so at least i dont have to say goodbye yet

Unique storyline. I love the ML and FL.


More indebt review will come when I reread and bingeread the series again. But I can say that I recommened it if you're looking for a nice family dynamic, mystery and undercover investigation (FL trying to find out a secret).

so cringey but i'm so invested

[Jen · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was a solid book. Different premise, the title says it all I think. I'm sure romance will come into play, the hotness of the MC H on the cover also says it all, lol.

The kid is pitched perfectly as a little boy who has been introduced to adult things too soon and is trying desperately to be adult-like and dependable so he doesn't lose his father's attention. Lots to unfold as the volumes continue. I also love the Nanny. She is tough and SMART. I LIKE her, though I am not a fan of her being tested repeatedly, it makes sense that she would be, considering who she is a nanny for.

Also, THAT. ENDING. OOF, I need to know more!!

3, solid and enjoyable I want to read the next volume, stars.

My thanks to Wattpad WEBTOON Unscrolled for an eARC of this book to read and review.

Thank you NetGalley and Webtoon for this arc! This manga comes out Feb. 5th!!

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!!

nothing happens and yet so much happens, such is webtoons, I am learning

[Achim · Rating 5 out of 5]

4.5
When reading the blurb you could imagine this as Mary Poppins meets The Godfather with a dash of the underlying romantic tension of the X Files and yes, thankfully, it doesn't completely shy away from Mafia brutality, even the ML has to do the dirty deed, and yes Davina is a fierce Super-Nanny and the safety and healthy growing-up of her charge takes top priority but she has her own agenda and a reason why she accepted that job but can't help getting tangled up in Gabriel's business.

Now if you wonder how such a dark and brutal tale is matching with the cute cover then don't worry, the brutality is far from overwhelming and only a necessary background and Davina's secrets are just one plot arc to add more tension to the story and depth to her character. In general it's a fun to read because most everything is bigger than life with overly beautiful people (doesn't even need Gabriel in a tiny speedo at Pool Day although you wouldn't want to miss that) and plenty of action and some nice banter and then there's Mickey, Gabriel's Mini-Me and Davina's commanding charge. He dominates every scene he appears in, even more so after connecting with Louis, the son of the rival French Mob boss, slowly breaking down Mickey's haughty vulnerability into childlike mischief.

You won't get anything more entertaining on this sub-genre on Webtoon.

This is a very fun(ny) and wild read. I am really invested in the main characters and their relationship and how it will develop in the future, hihi.

Looking forward to the upcoming chapters.

[Elise · Rating 5 out of 5]

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC!
If you enjoy Spy X Family, then The Mafia 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!

I had never thought I'd read Manhwa before

And here I am...

With my first ever Manhwa!!!

Loved the first Volume!!!

[Kelli · Rating 4 out of 5]

Talk about tension you can cut with a knife—WOW.

This is great.

If Fran Drescher in “The Nanny” was living your dream, this is a story for you. Or, if you wish “The Nanny” kept all its charm but had more of a “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” (2005) vibe, you’d also probably enjoy this one.

I cannot wait to read more~

[Courtney K · Rating 5 out of 5]

Gives me the same feelings as Spy X Family. The pacing is much quicker and the reveals are happening rapidly.

[Mariella Taylor · Rating 4 out of 5]

Well, I absolutely loved that. Beka was right. As usual.

[Mehsi · Rating 5 out of 5]

Reading this one on WEBTOON, currently that one is at episode 35. 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 though the MC (the Nanny) makes some dumb mistakes/decisions at times. XD But I love how dedicated she is to her job + how good she is + how sweet she is to her charge and how she tries to make him happy. Oh, and I do love the little bits of flirting/romance between her and her boss (who btw is hot). I love that there are some light-hearted parts along with darker parts. The art is really great.
