Solve in SudokuPad
Place the digits 1-9 once each in every row, column and 3x3 box.
Each cell must be shaded one of two colours, chocolate or banana. Orthogonally connected cells of the same colour form regions. Chocolate regions must be square or rectangular in shape. Banana regions must be neither square nor rectangular.
Digits separated by a white circle must each be equal to the number of cells in its region. A number within a circle is equal to the difference between the two digits it separates.
Solution code: Digits in chocolate regions from left to right in the bottom row.

I agree with Sherif, I was confused by the two circle rules.
But once I understood what you meant it was smooth sailing, nice puzzle.

Never played a puzzle with this ruleset before. At the beginning I thought i was missing something. Like like a possibility in the regions drawing that I missed or something. But completing the puzzle and seeing the solution is correct, was very very satisfying. Enjoyed that a lot.

Rules was bit confusing for me, i didnt understand numbered circles also follow white circle rule at first

Really fun puzzle. The hardest part for me was typing the solution code correctly because I ended up coloring chocolate regions yellow and thought those were bananas at the end.
