Hello.
Normal sudoku rules apply.
A clue in the top left of a cell indicates the total sum of all orthogonally connected cells that contain digits of the same parity. (Odd or even.)
Any group contains at most one clue.
No two orthogonally adjacent cells in the grid may have a difference of exactly 5.
Have fun.
Solution code: Row 9, first 6 digits.

Lovely!
A minor quibble: It would have been nice if the rules said "...the total sum of all orthogonally connected cells (including the clue cell)..."

Such a beautiful puzzle! Looked innocent at first glance, but contained such a fun and unusual solving path full of clever deductions. This one goes one my favorites!
