Regarding the name, Eira is a Japanese female name, but the weird part about it in this case was that it's written in katakana as if it's foreign. That's difficult to convey in Roman script without a very obnoxious translation note, especially since we're not actually 100% sure about what the exact intention here was (outside of the capoeira pun). Unfortunately the translation, even though it's fairly straight, gives the impression it's a Brazilian name.

Either way, all Rentarou does is bring attention to it as if he can see it's spelled unusually. Basically, as far as I can tell, the name is Japanese but looks foreign, hence why she explains she's Japanese-Brazilian.
Rentarou can tear and manipulate the fabric of space time easier than breaking the 4th wall to massage Nozawa-sensei with Momiji, noticing the text bubbles in the manga he's a self-aware protagonist in is a cake-walk for him lol

The scaredy cat thing got old for me fast. I get this is a gag manga but couldn't they introduce a girlfriend like Kaho or Kishika who's badass but doesn't have some ridiculous weakness?
Well, do I have some GOOD news for you!😊
I just so happen to have the inside scoop on some upcoming chapters and it turns out that there WILL be a badass that won't have ANY weakness whatsoever!😊
If no one wants to know about this upcoming character, I'll spoiler it so no one has to have their eyes graced with an early viewing of the name🙂:

KAHO EIRA... Why not KAPO EIRA? Is there something about the pun I'm misunderstanding? I know that HO and PO are only differentiated in hiragana and katakana by a "º"

Did she seriously get Yamcha'd by a ladybug?

The GFs are getting weirder by the second.
I'm pretty sure Kaho actually is a Japanese name just like Eira is, so they put em together since they sound closer to capoeira while still being Japanese names without actually straight up making the name capoeira.

If anything, it takes more effort to make the pun sound less like the actual thing you're making a pun of than it is to just go with the exact-same sounding choices, at least in this case lol I mean Capo/Kapo doesn't sound like a Japanese family name either anyway, but Kaho does, and the pun works even better in Japanese kana because, like you said, the only difference between the two is the ° symbol between 「ほ / ホ」 and 「ぽ / ポ」, so in kana, it's literally just a dot making the difference in the pun, but in English or romanized text, even with only one letter making a difference, the pun still works, but it doesn't hit as hard as the Japanese version...or something I guess, since your reaction is the more common one than the pun itself getting laughs lol

Why couldn’t she just be afraid of bugs lmao. Having her be afraid of literally everything she can’t physically kick is a bit much, it was mildly funny initially though.

Yup, Rentarou will definitely and readily rip through the fabric of space time if it concerns his girlfriends... Even though I'm pretty sure that he's probably already done it off-camera...
Considering he's met his own author and drawn part of the manga, I'd say so.

Kaho is interesting. I'm curious to see how she clashes with Yamame.

The difference is you're not Protagonist 🤭

The difference is more in the approach. Even if you're open to being hit on by a stranger and give him a chance, how are you supposed to react when it's two guys hitting you?

I mean, what's their goal there, have you date both of them? Clearly they're not interested in you, just your body.
You get only one guy hitting on you, and he seems rather sweet, why not give the invitation a chance?
