Question. Why does this manga exist? If people wanted to see what happened in Ordinal Scale, why don't they just watch Ordinal Scale(and they should)? Especially in this day and age of DVD/Blu-rays and Instant legal streaming.

Proper question should be, why they adapted the novel into manga.

I used to wonder the same myself a little bit until i read somewhere that its for the same reason why manga and light novels get adapted into anime its called commercialization.

Same reason there are novelizations of Star Wars and Disney movies?

Making a novelization of a movie or TV series makes sense, because the medium of novels allows for elements that generally don't work within the confines of film: extended background descriptions, the inner monologues of characters, additional content which would probably be left on the editing room floor. And in return, adapting a novel or manga to anime also makes sense, because that medium is likewise providing new elements: color, fully animated motion, voice acting, and music. But making a straight manga adaptation (i.e. not a side-story or prequel) of an existing anime series never made any sense to me, because it feels like a straight-up downgrade no matter how you spin it. You're almost certainly not getting any additional dialog, and you're going from full animation to monochrome still frames. It's like consuming a movie by reading its storyboards.
