@Keekian:

Horikoshi is a guy, he's just feminine looking. http://bokunoheroacademia.wikia.com/wiki/Kohei_Horikoshi

Also, how well females are written in shonen depends on the artist; for example, Kishimoto stated he's not good with girls (makes one wonder why there're so many in Naruto). This looks harder than it seems, given the cultural differences between Japan and the west.
