Howto Install bootloader afterwards? (discuss.tchncs.de)

Coming from Manjaro, I had Manjaro in dual boot with Windows for a few years now. I have now also installed Arch Linux. During the Arch installation, I skipped the part with the boot partition and the bootloader. I have been using the bootloader/grub from Manjaro. That works quite well.

But now I want to switch to a bootloader from Arch. With the Arch bootloader I would like to continue to have the choice between Arch, Manjaro and Windows.

I assume that I have to install a corresponding bootloader for Arch in the EFI parallel to the others. But how should I proceed in detail? I have not yet been able to find any corresponding howtos. Which bootloader would you recommend?

you can even have multiple, I keep grub and systemd-boot on hand in case one or the other gets messed up
