Time colors all our memories. There were no chill characters in early Komi. Literally one was a genki gender-bender, one wanted to be her pet, one was an overaged chunni and one was a psychopathic lesbian yandere who kidnapped and was willing to murder Tadano.
We got "chill" quite a bit later.
(Apologies for any spoilers eight years on from the biggest romcom/SoL hit of its era.)
