-Reading blogs
-Watching dramas and movies
-Asking questions on forums
All of this combined with Rikaichan in firefox, those 3 grammar dictionaries and
http://www.alc.co.jp/ has got me where I am today.
(I have spent about 14-15 months total learning Japanese)
I basically did what I
think bakacrisis is trying to do, but I used some English explanations (For grammar) along the way to speed things up.
...And I didn't use only manga.
So the reason I think it will work is based on my own experience.
But like everyone has said, you will probably fall into bad habits, and it will take a long time.
