I've personally been sticking with "he" for the moment, since Mutsuki has been consistently using a super-masculine personal pronoun. (Tomboy characters in anime/manga tend to use "boku", so I always found it interesting that Mutsuki uses the pronoun typically used in anime for super-tough manly types.) If nothing else, it seems to suggest that Mutsuki is actively trying to project a certain image to others since "ore" is considered rude outside of informal, close-knit gatherings of friends. It isn't supposed to be used among coworkers or your social betters, since the basic idea is saying, "I, the tough/aggressive guy!" as opposed to the more humble, non-threatening "boku".
