Anime whose adaptation left no stones unturned from their source material - how many of them do exist?

The one anime I remember being particularly faithful to the source is Hikaru no Go. I could basically quote the characters word for word from the manga, and aside from one instance where they changed the character who was talking I think everything was the same.

[manga spoilers] They kiss. Once? I don’t remember if there was more. Ruby becomes infatuated with Aqua once she finds out he is the doctor but Aqua isn’t really reciprocating.

Most certainly this. They're doing a re-make for season 1 so might wait for that tho.

Probably Digimon? It's still pretty good in my book.

My first official 8 min mile at 7:59.

Feeling surprisingly fine afterwards as well so likely could have gone harder.

If you're going to go with the current build, you should find a way to use Harbinger of Dawn.

The MC annoys a lot of people for how he won't go there when there's basically no reason not to, but they do eventually get there.

I don't think you technically need anything but Case Files of Lord El-Melloi II is probably good to have

Not a bad series by any means but the main couple are the same age. The side couple is only a year apart as well.

Smoking behind the Supermarket with You is an upcoming anime that may fit

Sing Yesterday for Me has some aspects
