The right-wing reference has nothing to do with the Japan of the Mahouka universe. It has to do with how the author structures his world and what actions he lets his protagonists and actors in that world take. Considering the current real-world climate a show which emphasises a constant threat from a big mainland nation attacking poor Japan unprovoked plus the portrayal of a strong military and weapons with limitless power is bound to invite right-wing propaganda accusations. And seeing it all I am trending towards the notion that the author has right-wing tendencies.
