I've had a complex history with the term "Mary Sue" because I think the description "a character that's too perfect" is an overly simplistic one. I don't think having overt flaws necessarily makes a character better or rounded, though it makes them more complex. A Mary Sue is a character who, aside from being perfect/lacking flaws, is one that's unrealistic to the point that they break the internal logic of the story or things bend to them for no reason.

Imo, I wouldn't call Hinami a Mary Sue. She has a lot of positive traits (pretty, has rare powers, is well liked, etc), but they don't lack reasons or are to story breaking degrees.
