Before we get into the puzzle for today, I wanted to mention that the Puzzle Grand Prix has begun! Info linked directly below, take a look at it if you're interested in trying your hand at some harder than GAPP pencil puzzles 🙂

In recent Saturdays our Supersized GAPPs have been on some of the more popular and well established genres like Akari and Masyu. Today's genre is one of the most popular of all, with over 10,000 posted on the puzz.link database! Its popularity is no doubt thanks to the versatility of logic, and so I've tried to showcase a bit of that range here, in doing so making it slightly trickier than the average GAPP but still as we always promise, genuinely approachable
It gives you the best of both worlds with shading and loop logic combined, it's a Yajilin!

Rules: Shade some cells so that no two shaded cells are orthogonally adjacent and draw a non-intersecting loop through the centers of all the remaining empty cells. Clues cannot be shaded, and represent the number of shaded cells in a straight line in the indicated direction.
