This is a Tapa puzzle, with a twist. Each clue functions not only as a normal Tapa clue but also serves as a clue for the region it is contained in, giving the size of each contiguous block of black cells in the region. Each region contains at most one clue, and there are no constraints on regions without a clue.

I’ve been surrounded by so much Tapa lately that I can’t help but think of more ideas for it…

Nice puzzle. I especially liked the starting logic and how the numberless regions functioned.
