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.

The matter and definition of a vampire is often different in different novels/manga/anime. Some melt in sunlight, some gets weaken, some can transform into bats and wolves while others can't.
So it's rather impossible to judge what is and what's not a vampire just by following the classic Dracula.

Yay!
