'Kay let's kick off the post with our Bonus Otter award ceremony 🦦 Congratulations to @AloneZeether, @Eve the Eevee, @Daniel, & @Andres for all guessing today's genre correctly! You each get an otter (a knotter? 🤔) everyone else, better luck next time.

It's a Kurodoko today! Also known as Kuromasu, and in either name the "Kuro" means "Black" so you guessed it, we're shading today baby 😎 Also, hello to the MTG print-out-and-solve guys in the future 👋 You probably missed out on the otter game, so in thinking of you I left lots of open space in the middle of the puzzle for note-taking 📝 (Wait, what do you mean that's not particularly helpful?)

Rules: Shade some cells so that no two shaded cells are orthogonally adjacent and the remaining unshaded cells form one orthogonally connected area. Clues cannot be shaded, and represent the total number of unshaded cells that can be seen in a straight line vertically or horizontally, including itself.
