You can safely assume that almost all gender-specific pronouns in that book were added in translation. In that particular case, the Japanese uses the term kono hito - 'this person'. Even if it had been in the original, how would a total stranger know his/her gender?

There is one line, which didn't make it into the English translation fully intact, which may be a weak confirmation of Hotaru being male, may be a reference to voice-changing software, or may just be misleading. Other than that, there's absolutely nothing there to indicate either way. I've checked.

And did you look at my link?

Endrance isn't gay, he's a pansexual.

And here I thought he was just in love with a cat >__>;

Technically it can't be seen as gay either once you consider his position =P.

Also back to topic.

Hotaru can be seen one way or the other based on real life XD

Either a pretty boy or a pretty girl.

Vol.2's Dotto Haku says that Hotaru's PC is male, since it's the same type as Elk's and Tsukasa's. Hotaru's irl gender is kinda left open, though going by the PC...

Just because the PC design is the same doesn't mean the PC is male. The artist did comment that it was the counterpart of Elk's and whatnot.

Furthermore, Magi's PC is a male and she's a chick IRL, so it doesn't make a difference either way. My vote's on female due to Hotaru's name, personality, voice, cute little curly hair and earrings, and inclusion in Shugo's harem.

Komiyan: "DAmn Shugo, why does he get all the girls?" *Shows Rena, Ouka, Zefie, Mirei, HOTARU, etc.*

Endrance was also in Haseo's harem, though.

Edit: And really, Komiyan isn't the best person to go off of. He probably thinks most JRockers are girls.

yea, but Endrance was mainly comedy relief with his "lol gay secks." And frankly, I'm pretty sure all the other characters call Hotaru a "she." Any evidence pointing to Hotaru's gender as a male is super ambiguous and hardly worth arguing.

No, they say Hotaru has the same PC type as Tsukasa and Elk. Just looking at the games, it's clear that PC types are divided by gender... Hotaru's name was explained, and it probably isn't Hotaru's real name, so I don't think it really indicates anything...
