Clip Studio Paint. It has tone layers which convert b/w to tone. You can paint with screen tones.

CSP or photoshop.
And no, the source files don't look like that, they look as ultra-clean as anybody else working in CSP. That noisy shit is what happens when the book as been printed (thus real ink bleeding into real paper introduce a natural noise to the pattern) then scanned (introducing noise as the scanner interprets the information back into pixels) then probably resized/rescaled/rexported to be worked on by the scanlation team, then again filtered by the cleaner on that team to make it easier for the redrawer and typesetter, then finally exported (possibly with even more filters on top) and uploaded to whatever site (that may again resample the image and/or apply filters). So what you're looking at and trying to emulate is not what the original file looks like.

Clip Studio Paint has circle as its default screentone pattern option, but if you pick pup alternative patterns in the drop-down menu, "Lozenge" pattern has less moire.

Less moire = better screentones.

Some people work straight into tones, while others work in grayscale and turn it into tones when they need to print it.
It's a personal choice, and not conditioned at all by if it's going to be a printed work or not.

If you work in tones while shading you can export in grayscale anyways. and viceversa.

Forgot to add, tones don't give your work "the manga look".
It's just that people are used to moire because manga consumption in the west is primarily piracy, hence scan, hence scaling, hence moire in your screen.
