Sensible answer:
You could just look up grammar explanations to save yourself a lot of time.

Answer your more likely to want to hear:
I don't know if it will work.
In fact wait, scratch that.
It will work (kind of) but, since you (as far as I know) don't have anyone to interact with in the language (someone who will correct your mistakes) there is a high chance that you could teach yourself the wrong things and get into bad habits.

All I can say is:
Try it.
And be prepared to spend a loooooong time doing it.
Also be prepared to have a few bad habits that you're going to have to get rid of.

Just be careful to not speak like a manga character.
You won't get very far addressing everyone as お前 or 貴様 for example.

Dramas are nice resources too.
If your feeling confident in this method then find some drama and get the scripts here:
