Normal sudoku rules apply.
The digit in the square cells is 2, 4, 6, or 8.
The purple lines within the grid are renban lines. Each purple line contains a set of consecutive, non-repeating digits in any order.
The circles connected by lines in the grid are double arrow clues. The sum of the digits along a line is equal to the sum of the digits in the circles at either end of the line. Digits may repeat freely along a double arrow.
Have fun, leave a comment if you enjoy the puzzle!

Great puzzle, thanks. I did get horribly stuck at one point and when I realised what I'd been missing I gave myself a good kicking.

Lots of interesting interactions throughout the solve there! That mid solve and the parts around box 245 made me scratch my head a lot there :o

Very smooth opening into a very tricky yet satisfying midsolve! Thank you Zeta, I enjoyed it a lot!

Loved the interactions between the renban and double arrow lines.

Nice break-in and interactions between the different constraints.
