That type of plotline happens plenty in regular manga/dramas/etc. It's kind of sadder when it's a published/broadcasted story, actually, because it's still a Mary Sue; it's just not created BY the Mary Sue.
I think if I wrote Gokusen fic, I would make Yankumi into a Mary Sue. I mean, teacher/student has been one of my personal fantasies for YEARS. (Though the older I get, the creepier it is. It wasn't so bad when I was like 19 or 20... But I'm too young to be a professor, and a Me/College Student relationship wouldn't be taboo enough to be interesting. Though still, if I dated a freshman, he'd be 18!! That's crazy! ...it freaks me out that people born in the 90s are so old now.)
Clarissaaaaaaaaa (Mindless Self Indulgence have a song "about" the show; it mentions Ferguson!). I think I shipped Sam and Clarissa..
I used to read a shitload, then we got the internet.. I still feel better reading actual books, but I do read a lot of informative stuff on the internet, so I don't feel too bad about not reading books. (Informative stuff=Wikipedia, language stuff, etc). I tried keeping book lists starting in 2006, but I never finished for 2007 and then I graduated so I stopped HAVING to read.. But in 2006, I read a total of 21 books. Actually, only 8 of them were for school, so that's not really all that bad. That was when I had a lot of time to kill while waiting in the school library.
Hehe, in 2007 I read four anti-Bush/Republican books!
Even if I don't read often, I should keep a book list.. It's fun to look back and see what I read!
