Also,alien vampire-ish creatures from the moon?
I think it's just normal symbolism of Vampires as creatures of the night, hence moon. If you want to read amazing story about alien vampires read Vampire Juujikai (Record of a Fallen Vampire). No yuri though.

you know a vampire yuri set in a world where humans are just fully subjugated as part of how the world works, is certainly new
It reminds me of Daybreakers. A world where majority of humans were turned into vampires and remaining ones are hunted. Vampire society is on a bring of collapse, since they almost drove humans to extinction and are running out of blood. Sadly the movie was a disappointment, so hopefully the yuri version of it will be better.

there's a lot of offscreen really unfortunate implications to this one, mostly in the simple reality that this society practices chattel slavery to a degree greater than any historical implication. See the vending machines full of blood packs, which I really doubt were produced with consent of whoever provided them (especially if some particularly bright and cruel vampire came up with a way to make human factory farming), among other things.
Offscreen? Did you miss the fact MC talks about undomesticated humans, you can literally buy one, MC comments so that's how raw human looks like (implied the blood bags is processed human) and Number One doesn't have a name, calls herself livestock and was clearly raised to be this way. Yes, it's blatant text that humans in this world are considered to be cattle and only live to serve vampires.
I doubt the author's going to spend too much time dwelling on that beyond the passing mentions we've seen so far (and to some degree hope they don't because that could get very dark very fast), but it's something that stands out to me nonetheless.
Except it's huge part of setting and important part of world building and plot, with reason why MC is so smoll and never drunk from human before. Author actually put a fair amount of thought into it and deliver it to us in very subtle ways. That 1 panel from class told us that vampires used to hunt humans without any limits, but at some point it lead to problems and so they started to introduce regulations and presumably 33 years ago they manged to get it under control. In fact while definitely not ideal, vampires really do seem to be trying to at least take better care of humans this time around as there are apparently even laws against hurting humans, I assume akin to animal abuse laws IRL. So sure, it's supposed to be pretty dark setting, when you think about it, but it's also isn't supposed to be like all misfortune and misery for humans Again, not that it makes it excusable or anything, but that's what fiction is for. Exploring that kind of wacky ideas in safe environment. Not all stories have to perfectly reflect our understanding and sense of morality and sensibility.

It does seem like chattel slavery, but will it be depicted as a bad thing? Or will it go the Harry Pottery route (where the house elves "enjoy" being slaves)? I guess it's just a lewd manga with only two volumes, so it probably isn't meant to be taken very seriously.
It's not slavery, humans are a livestock and unlike with series that I refuse to name it's not that humans enjoy it, but rather are raised/brainwashed to enjoy it, cos they're cattle and don't know other way to live. And yes, it's clear we're not meant to take it seriously. The setting is dark af and ultra messed up if you approach it with our normal morality and sensibility, but we're clearly not meant to do that. It's clearly just a wacky thought experiment and what if scenario that author came up with. It's not taking itself seriously as a deep dive exploration of how world like that would work and whatever it could be done well/in humane way, but just a interesting idea to set a vampire story in. I'd even go as far as call it dark comedy as it's clearly taking some very serious topics and plays them in comedic fashion, without really acting like they're a big deal. In fact I hope that author will keep that tone and never tries to go into "maybe what we're doing is bad actually?" direction, cos that'd ruin this story completely.
