Hey I've recently finished the anime it was better than I expected. So I found out it have Manga as well, strange thing is currently it only have like 3 Chapters total.

I was wondering this anime is Origin from the Novel ? So the Manga is still something in progress then ?

Also I notice the Manga is completely different from the Anime.

The anime is original and there are only 3 chapters scanlated. There are more than 2 volumes at the moment.

The manga is different from the anime because it came out before.

Just give up on it, it's been 238 days since the last chapter got scanlated.
It doesn't mean that it'll be all you're seeing but it's likely the case.
The novel is based on the anime so yes.

Actually there are 8 chapters translated (manga). In the manga and in the LN the story is completely different, but I recommend to read them because it explains some things that in the anime aren't explained.

The manga is most likely On-Hiatus.

FYI, all three of Ikuhara's shows have this (well, this has the manga process from Utena and the novelization process from Penguindrum). From what I can gather on each show he already has a vague premise for a show and most of the significant characters, then he brings in a mangaka who is going to be doing the manga adaptation who then draws the characters that they feel fit that outline as well as do a basic rundown of the story of the manga. Whenever the designer questions about a certain vague or unmentioned element, Ikuhara more often than not asked them to explain it to him: basically, convert this jumble of concepts into something you find coherent/fits with the work otherwise. Then Ikuhara picks out which elements the mangaka wants to introduce in the anime and ignores the rest. Then he writes a couple light novels to come out alongside the series (one near the start covering the first half, one when it ends covering the last half) that generally follow the same path but can differ slightly in the end result.

It's this weird slightly collaborative effort; he's definitely the initial source for most of the concepts on all three shows but he seems to encourage each to be it's own thing.

FYI: In Utena's case the novels came out a year later, are a completely different story from the manga, anime, or movie, and were written by Ichiro Okouchi. In Penguindrum's case the mangaka never made a manga adaptation, but a different mangaka signed on to do one two years after the show came out (never read it to see how faithful it is; part of me hopes it isn't just on principal because of how interesting it is to see Utena and YKA as their own things.)
