Consecutive Double Choco
Consecutive Double Choco is a variation of the Double Choco puzzle introduced by Anuraag Sahay in 2024. This variant preserves the original structure but adds the constraint that areas should have adjacent areas differ by exactly one, similar to consecutive-number rules seen in Latin-square puzzles.
The consecutive restriction, combined with standard rules, leads to highly engaging logic. In particular, solvers must often count colored or marked cells to confirm whether the required consecutive adjacency are possible.

Rules
Divide the grid along the grid lines into regions. Each region must contain one orthogonaly connected area of white cells and one area of shaded cells. The pair of areas must be of the same shape and size. The areas may be rotated or mirrored. A number indicates how many cells of one color the region contains. A region may contain several numbers - in this case all numbers must be equal. Additionaly each region should have at least one neighbouring region of consecutive size (area sizes should be one more or one less).
