 Clicking on the "Comic Input" button on the conversion screen will let you see some options; in my experience, most comics look better with the Sharpen feature turned on, a few look better with it turned off, experiment for the best results.  This feature can take a LOT of RAM if you're working with huge .cbz files so close any other programs except Calibre (especially your web browser) before you run it.  When working with manga, make sure you select the "Right to left" checkbox appropriately, for when the manga throws in the occasional landscape page (so you don't end up erroneously looking at the left side of the page first).
-(note: although images inside the books will be resized and greyscaled properly, cover images will still be huge and full-colour, so don't forget to hit that Resize Cover button too)

+==== Manga gobbles up your SD card space like popcorn ====
+Even after having all its images resized to fit your screen, manga takes up ENORMOUS amounts of space, around 30 or 40 megabytes per volume.  You can fit hundreds (thousands if you go without covers) of straight-up text books in the space taken up by a single manga volume.  Just something to keep in mind.
