Tales of the Abyss: Senketsu no Asch was published following the start of the anime adaptation of the Tales of the Abyss game series by Bandai Namco. Senketsu no Asch (Asch the Bloody) follows the same story as the anime, but from the perspective of the God General Asch instead. Thus, it reveals a lot of information missing from the anime, as well as giving some insight into the other God Generals as they interact with Asch.
