Renban-Madoguchi is one of those genres people whisper about in dark alleys and candlelit basements. But arguably the constraints are greater on the setter than the solver. Hopefully this puzzle will prove to you that it is undeserving of such a late feature on GAPP. Or perhaps not.

Rules: Place a positive integer into each empty cell. The numbers in each region must all form a consecutive sequence, in any order. The difference between two numbers separated by a bold border must be equal to the length of the straight line of borders between them.
