When I watched Akebi, it felt way too shojo or moe for my taste. I didn't see a single male character talking. It's art also didn't feel appealing to me vs other series. The eyes were so wide it threw off face proportions. If it wasn't done by cloverworks, it would probably drop significantly in viewership and ratings. Same can be said with love live which has experienced extreme ratings drop after sunshine.
The lack of male characters doesn't mean Akebi's Sailor Uniforn is shojo nor does the inclusion of moe tropes. Akebi's Sailor Uniform runs in a seinen magazine in Japan, Weekly Young Jump, which is the same magazine that runs One Punch Man.
