This Kurotto (Loop) will be appearing in round 4 of the LMI Puzzle Ramayan. But it's really just another excuse to make another Kurotto, of which I am now responsible for 6 out of 7. Best consumed with a dollop of kurottoed cream and dash of square jam.

Rules: Shade some cells so that clues represent the total size of the orthogonally connected areas of shaded cells that share an edge with the clue. Clued cells cannot be shaded.

Variant: Additionally, draw a non-intersecting loop that passes through every empty cell (i.e. every unshaded cell without a circle).
