The month has come to an end, and as we watched that same June pass, the letters have rearranged themselves to reveal today's puzzle genre: Japanese Sums 🇯🇵

Rules: Place a number from 1 to 9 into some cells so that no number is repeated in any row or column. Numbers outside the grid represent the sums of the numbers in blocks of consecutive numbered cells in the corresponding row or column, in order. Sums must be separated by at least one empty cell.
