There is like, 0 effort to make hi sound male. dI guess this goes on the bench the same as with Miku English where the voice acting may have had to be dropped in the transfer between languages. As much as I appreciate Asami Shimoda to sit down and learn English as much as she can pre-recording; I think its mostly the strain - like you said - its hard to voice-act in a language you've not had 100% experience in.

I think if she had more time; Len may have sounded more masculine, but since Crypton like to focus on Miku. I don't think she had a choice. I also think that its kind of best to not overdo the pronounciation on Vocaloids, but they could've focused on him a little more to overcome that issue.

Kind of wishing that Crypton eventually realises they need native [insert language here] singers for their Vocaloids (incl. Meiko and Kaito). But I doubt they'd pick up on that any time soon.

On a sidenote - I'm in love with DEX and DAINA, but I'm still waiting on a physical box before purchasing them.
