Another devil's advocate question. Are you trying to learn to draw manga or learn a more naturalistic approach? For some reason I thought it was the latter.
Not to say you can't try different approaches, but being very specific in these choices matter, when it comes to knowing what you are actually trying to achieve with your individual study choices.
For example look up Zorn's sketches for some amazing naturalistic but still quite defined linework. The Russian academic approach also often uses linework and form hatching, though not ubiquitously.
If manga, you probably should use a brush more aligned to inking, than the sorta pencily/biro brush you have been using. Krita has some ink sets I think, but I make my own customs or use these as a base to tweak. Standard hard round, full opacity brush with size linked to pressure works fine.
Read this. The "size" curve in the brush settings is what you want to enable and play with

Also realise many manga artists seem to use photo or custom built pattern fills for their broad tonal fills and then probably go back in manually with customising the fill to the situation it is being used in.
Much slower to do this all by hand. Clip studio seems to have a more comic specific focused tools and work flow as well, if this is something you see yourself doing a lot of in the future.
