The method relying on romaji is in the minority now as far as I can see it. It might be painful, but those hiragana need to become second-nature to you, so you might as well start by cramming them, it's the first cramming session of many more to follow anyways...

You also learn the final tones and the pitch of the initial are unrelated. That's interesting. We didn't divide Chinese pronounciation into 5 tones when we were learning Chinese. Perhaps the way will help you speak every character more clearly and exactly. But when you say a sentence or many words together, especially when you speak faster, you'll no longer keep the 5 tones.
