The Mafia Nanny Vol. 1 | ARC Webtoon Review

I’m so glad I got approved for this one on NetGalley because I’ve been seeing it all over social media and had a feeling I’d like it. Now, I can confirm—it’s definitely worth all the hype!

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 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.

I’d also recommend this webtoon if you usually read books—especially romance and dark romance—and are thinking of trying out webtoons. The male lead is a mafia boss, so all my dark romance girlies will definitely appreciate him.

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!
