It just doesn't seem their style to reveal the truth so early in the series. Kanon revels in its' bombshell revelations, and to have Matsuri out as a vampire this early seems premature.

Additionally, there is the matter of the flashback. If Matsuri was really a vampire, you would think they would chain her up or something, instead of letting her be free in the cave.

Even if she is some sort of vegetarian vampire, it still doesn't explain why she is being hunted. I am thinking that some sort of curse is involved here, and the guy wants Matsuri killed so that a curse will be lifted.

Then there is the matter of rain. Why is rain so important to Matsuri? What the flip does rain have to do with vampires, other than the notion that running water hurts them (in which case, Matsuri should have melted under the rain)?

Matsuri being a vampire just doesn't add up. There is definitely more than meets the eye. All these "hints" of vampirism is probably just an intentional misdirection by the producers.

Cheers.

Well, this is a 13 episode title and we don't have 5 girls to deal with. So maybe...

Spoiler:

Matsuri, Takeshi and Mayuko are based on the Roma legends of vampires. Matsuri is a Roma vampire. Takeshi is a Dhampir with Mayuko being a Moroi were contracted to hunt down Matsuri. Takeshi did look like he was about to decapitate her.

Rainy days are the only times that she can walk outside without problems. That was mentioned in the audio CD. She did disappear at dawn in ep. 1 and the simulation of sunlight at the end was enough to send her flying to the shadows.

For all we know, her wish could be what's getting people upset. It could have been what caused her to leave her protected/sheltered environment.

We'll prob know more in ep. 2.
