I'm look for an apocalyptic/post-apocalyptic manga where the characters don't use guns.
It can be like in shingeki no kyojin where they have guns but are useless in combat.
Or in 7 seeds which I think doesn't involve guns or that much combat requiring them (I'm not sure, I haven't read this manga in years. Forgive me for any ignorance...)
I looked through the tags but couldn't really find anything.
I don't want a modern or futuristic setting.
No genre discrimination.

Post-apocalyptic, but not futuristic? Not modern? Wait, what?
Can't remember if they used guns in Psyren...

By "not futuristic", he means no high-tech settings and such. Probably, no mechas and such. Not sure about supernatural powers.
Well, Kaze no Tani no NausicaƤ (it's by Hayao Miyazaki) has guns, but it doesn't focus on gunfights, and it's not like guns are much use against a giant toxic forest. Technology is very crude for the most part.
Apart from that, there aren't many series like Shingeki no Kyojin and 7 seeds unfortunately, both of those are also on the top of my lists. Eden no Ori is also in the survival genre, but it doesn't come anywhere near 7 seeds.

Ah, sorry. I should have been more clear. I'm bad at English.
What I meant is that if it's post-apocalyptic, I don't want shiny facilities, I want to see the actual aftermath (kind of like in Adventure Time directly after the great mushroom war? I think? My memory is crap.)
I don't want a mecha/futuristic setting with robots and machines, none of that jazz. It's not that I hate mecha, rather I want to see humanity level up or solve the problem without the aid of super fancy equipment and robots.
I'm fine with supernatural powers (encourage it actually)
Thank you all for the suggestions! Especially Eden no Ori.

Oh that's too bad, because Battle Angel Alita is one of the best post-apocalyptic manga out there, but heavily features cyborgs and rusty technology. They don't use guns very much either, preferring martial arts. Especially in the sequel, Battle Angel Alita: Last Order.
XBlade may be another, but it's kinda weird.

Drifting classroom doesn't have guns, meat cleavers and pointy sticks yes, but not guns. There are robots in it but they certainly don't help them in any way really.
Route 20 doesn't have guns, I think. I read it aggggges ago so sorry if I got that wrong. From what I remember it was pretty philosophical and about motorcycles salvaged from scraps in a dystopia.
Errrm its not post-apocalyptic but Jisatsutou does have the man vs nature, stuck on a deserted island with no major technology type feel. Plus they don't have guns.
Japan didn't have guns up to the point I read but I didn't read that far, it annoyed me a bit.
