This is the third puzzle in my series of puzzles with the same rule-set. This one is by far my favorite because I think the break-in is pretty neat. I also really adore the simple elegance to the rules. I hope you enjoy too.
Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply.
Circled digits indicate how many of the up to 9 cells surrounding the circle (including itself) have the same parity (even/odd) as itself. Not all such circles are necessarily given.
If you enjoyed this puzzle and the logic of the circles indicating parity, check out my other puzzles, Parity Hilarity and Parity Pecularity.
Solution code: Row 8

Very satisfying. I finally understand how the circles work.

Very nice parity puzzle. I loved the circle interactions in box 5.
Thank you for sharing :)
