I'm the exact opposite of you OP. I find Hinami to be one of the best characters of this series (actually my favourite) and don't find Touka nearly as interesting. Usually characters with Hinami's type of personality are not "battle" characters, but the emotional support of the main character (and Hinami enters those parameters). In TG, Ishida also made Hinami to be a character who fights back and that's amazing in my opinion. I know people go around saying that Kaneki is going to destroy the cycle of hate between Humans and Ghouls, but do you know who ACTUALLY did that? Hinami. And that's not an easy feat even if you are a person raised surrounded by love. Hinami refused to take part in this species war and in that moment she became my favourite. To me, Hinami has qualities that would make her a great main character, but the main character is Kaneki/Haise and, as such, she HAS to go to the side-lines. Maybe those qualities are what you call as her being a "Mary Sue". Everyone has their taste and opinion so I'm not here to say "NO, HINAMI IS THE BEST AND YOU SHOULD LOVE HER OR YOU'RE A MEAN GOO-GOO FACE!", no, what people like and don't like is different. Hinami is one of the most "humane" characters and, yes, if you compare her to the other characters, she has committed almost no actions that are morally conflicted and that may bore you or may seem to you as too unrealistic. But I actually find that EXTREMELLY interesting (and realistic to be honest). In a world where EVERYONE around you clashes, because each have their own sense of justice, values and reasons, Hinami comes, says "Nope." and flies away. The thing is she cannot do that for much longer, I mean, we are already seeing her as a strategist of Aogiri, and her relationship with Eto is a really well-kept secret. Time is running out. I think Hinami has all these qualities because she is a natural born leader and Ishida WANTS to make her a leader, but, as you probably deduced by the long text, I'm biased towards Hinami so what I might think is going to happen is probably not going to because Hinami is not that much of a main character. Hinami is an important character and if she was more morally conflicted, she would be killed by Akira/CCG no question, but she has to be the "poster girl" of the peaceful ghoul. Give it time, Hinami will also have to make tough choices in the future. Oh, but don't force yourself to like her! You are you and I am me. We like different aspects of TG and that gives birth to diversity! But from there to call her a Mary Sue is harsh, she has almost 0 screen time… (although more screen time than Touka, that’s true…)
