long story short:

the title of the chapter is in katakana (the only chapter with its title in katakana, i checked the raws i have). it indeed directly translates to endless eight. they are using the direct literal translation of the title. that's what the staff at baka-tsuki came to, and what i checked for my own curiosity with my poor katakana reading skills and following up with a translation web site.

the chinese version translated it as endless august, which i assume was in kanji. maybe you got it from there.

エンドレスエイト

It's Endless Eight. Maybe in the book they used kanji that reads "Endless August" but with the furigana on top that says "Endless Eight". Besides the Arabic number 8 resembles the loop of infinity, reflecting the endless time loop in this story.
