No, rather it pushed itself to be yuri. The rest of the plot only exists to tell Himeko and Chikane's romance story. Its not like its a fully fledged story that happens to have some yuri in it. If it wasn't yuri, it wouldn't have been as good or as memorable either. For one because similar star-crossed lovers are dime a dozen with het stories and the specifics of their romance could only be told with girls.
