I haven't read the manga but I'm intrigued after watching the anime. Since this is shounen, I have to ask the manga readers: are there strong female characters in this story?

To answer your question, not yet



Anyway, Strong female characters in shounen have always been there, people just think that sakura, Hinata/Orihime and mikasa represent all female shounen Characters, because by that logic I'd say that male Characters in shojo anime are bad and i use the male Characters in 7 Seeds, Ouran highschool, daibolic lovers, my little monster as an example as to " male Characters in shojo manga are bad " argument

But that would be absurd obviously

I agree with what you said, but to rephrase my term, i'm asking if there are active female characters, because I noticed in animes such as My hero academia, i noticed that the girls there are mostly only there to support the main male trio. While i'm not undermining them, i would like if girls were given more opportunities to lead the battles, not just as a support

Two of the most important female characters in the series, both have huge daddy issues.
When it comes to fighting I only remember one fight that Hattori takes part in.
And there's some amount of fanservice.
Looks like even female magakas (like in this case) don't want to write strong female characters.

Ugh what a bummer, i was hoping for some girl action since the greenish blue haired girl seems to be part of the main trio

Gintama and Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood too. There are MANY female characters in both these shows who are well-written and powerful at the same time.

I mentioned these anime specifically not because they're the only battle shounen with good female characters, that would be stupid of me to say, i mentioned them because 1) they have female MCs 2) the female cast is better than the male cast a lot ( scientific railgun ), equal ( soul eater ), or the female cast is great but the male cast is shit ( Claymore )

But yeah, you're also right
