it can be male, originally of Russian origin so if you look at normal Russian names Valerie will most likely show up. In English it is female predominantly while in Russian it is usually male
No, it's not. Russian male name is Valery. I'm Slavic, we have this name in my country too, it's not only Russian.
Can be Valeri, Veleriy, Valery - all forms are male, but not Valerie. Valerie is female name.
was going off of memory
Isn’t the cover art enough for you? What do you mean that the description confuse you please read the tags next time, also the name Valerie can be male.
The cover and tags are enough; it's just that a feminine name on a male character is quite distracting. It seems like either the translator or the author didn’t do enough research.
And no, Valerie is a feminine name, not a masculine one.
The masculine versions are Valery, Valeri, and Valeriy. Valerie is strictly feminine. For Slavs, that makes a difference.
I see he is Valery in manga, good! So the mistake is only in the summary.
I was a bit confused because there are two men on the cover, and the description says it's yaoi, but the summary mentions Asil and Valerie—Valerie is a female name.
