Is there a better way to say "young adult" than 若い大人？


I have this feeling that 若い大人 is too much of a direct translation and kind of
unnatural but I have no idea.




How about 「[若年]{じゃくねん}[成人]{せいじん}」, though this sounds a bit more literary.

According to
[Wikipedia](https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%A4%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B0%E3%82%A2%E3%83%80%E3%83%AB%E3%83%88),
it looks like 「ヤングアダルト」 is also used, but I think it's usually used in the
context of literary genres.

I think you could also use [青年]{せいねん}, depending on the context.
