@timka3 @Roler @LIGHTNINGHAWK - What does "push-over" mean in this context? It's used on pages 17 & 27, but in neither case does it seem to fit comfortably, given the sentence structure & the term's meaning in English: a person who offers no resistance or whose resistance is easily overcome (has negative connotations, in that it suggests a weak-willed person).

While I'm just this group's uploader and not the translator, these sentences were probably mistranslated (seems like MTL gives this mistranslation).

Looking at the raws, the sentence on page 17 may be something like:
He was weak and his clothes were unfashionable but

While the sentence on page 27 may be:
Unlike Goto-kun, she's a pushover.
However, she's got a strong sense of responsibility.

But then again, I don't know much Japanese so don't take it for granted.

Thanks, Roler. That's more-or-or less what I figured, but I wasn't sure (y)
