I don't think Yurine is a Mary Sue. Not at all. Mary Sues get along with everyone, have people surrounding them all the time (like in harems) and are perfect at everything even if it seems impossible at times. Plus, they never have personality.
But Yurine is always alone. People want to get closer but she emits an aura of, "Stay away from me." Which is most likely why things didn't work out in sports clubs - she couldn't work well within a group: "We would have had to adjust the teams". So she spends her time reading things like Classic literature and memorizing it because she has no proper social skills. And she demonstrates a cold persona in the classroom, but when she's with Shiramine she's really playful and upbeat, something I think is really interesting.
I also think she's so interested in Shiramine because she's almost (or IS) as good as her in academics, has the traits Yurine doesn't, and STILL wants to be like her.
