Walkthrough for yesterday's Myopia: https://youtu.be/rCU6yy65nw0

Having left my fruit basket untouched for a week, I come back to discover a practically inedible Chocolate Banana. Though its palatability had already dwindled by the time it lost all trace of green. Fortunately this puzzle is fresh off the shelf, but don't leave it for too long!

Rules: Shade some cells so that all areas of orthogonally connected shaded cells are rectangular and all areas of orthogonally connected unshaded cells are not rectangular. A clue represents the size of its group of shaded/unshaded cells.

Here's a little GAPP 101: Adjacent clues that are different values cannot be the same colour.
