Enable LUKS encryption ONLY for my manjaro partition

Yes - that is normal - only your manjaro partition is encrypted - but the grub loader including the operating system selector is inside that partition

This is because grub boot loader is inside the encrypted partition and that is why you must decrypt your Manjaro partition even though you want to boot windows.

So use the firmware boot override - just like you would in an install situation - select windows or manjaro.

Another solution is to use systemd boot - as this also provide a window of selecting the operating system. There is no fancy customisation - simplicity is the keyword.
