Nope. Not all manga are faithful. They still have quota plus they have to satisfy magazine ratings too so they tend to omit and change certain things as well. Sometimes they add things like in Black Bullet but sometimes they completely change order of events or something so saying manga in general are faithful is inaccurate, that depends on circumstances and author plus magazine as well. So yeah, my point on manga covering more content still flies. The best is always the source though and that is the reason why they don't make an exact replica when adapting. How are they supposed to market the products in conjunction when they are identical across the media? No, it is the differences between them that they aim for. Heck, the trolls behind Ore no imouto konnani kawaii wake ga nai anime left out a good chunk of the plot details necessary for proper closure but instead released some extras in the DVD bundles that basically spit in your face and said "Buy the Light Novels to know the things that were left out in the anime". So basically the whole thing ran full circle so you would be buying the LNs anyway since they freaking tease you in the extras.
