I would make a longer criticism, but that would mean reading this train-wreck again. My issue comes down to plotholes, mostly.
Here's some bullet points off the top of my head that break the plot:
-Why do the Elfs tell the about their plan to eat them? It will lead to them resenting them actively and increases their likelihood of resisting. It's like a cornered animal, versus not telling them and keeping the situation ambigious
-Why do the Elfs use High Schoolers? Kidnapping that many people en masse is sure to raise suspicion because it means that you're kidnapping people who have family and friends and that society would miss. It would be better to kidnap homeless people, druggies, prostitutes, criminals, and others that have been de facto abandoned by society at large, as it would make what you're doing less conspicuous
-Why would the Japanese government allow this shit? If it ever came out you were selling your own people to ravenous elven cannibals, you would be on an international tribunal in a weekend, if not lynched by your own people in a matter of weeks, especially when facing a population crisis.
-Why would you farm humans? It is an extremely inefficient method as you get one child every 9 months at best and if you demoralize them like this, the chances for other things like miscarriage, post-partem depression, and other effects that result from poor conditions and nutrition. Assuming you have magic, it would be better to artificially do it, or to steal the technology for in-vitro fertilization from humans. The best answer to the population would be they're a delicacy, but treating delicacies like this is extremely unlikely all things considered
-The nutrition they are giving them will not feed a human being, and will lead to mass deaths from malnutrition and little fat. You want people to get fattened up to maximize the amount of meat you get, so you should give them lots of fatty foods. Not to mention you will be constantly losing stock from escape attempts, suicides, in-fighting, etc.
There's other stuff, but yeah, this manga is terrible on a level I can't even begin to comprehend.
