I understand the fandom argues about his gender a lot, but in the game, Arashi has outright stated that he's a boy - telling Anzu to watch out, because he's a boy, too, or something along this line - and it seems really odd to have fandom headcanon overrule the game canon. This is correct. In Chapter 5 of "Holiday," Arashi has a line as follows:"I am fairly well trusted, ufufu.  Even I am a man, though, more or less."

He says this in the context of protecting female models from stalkers, remarking that they feel safe with him, and he was quite trusted. His remark about being a man seems to be designed to question whether they should really trust him, a man, so much, as a matter of principle, despite the lack of "manly" qualities he may have that made them feel safe with him.
