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.

question
words
Is there a better way to say "young adult" than 若い大人？
Well, if you don't want to use 若い大人... you can also use the following:

[男子]{だんし}[大人]{おとな}, [少年]{しょうねん}[大人]{おとな}, [青年]{せいねん}[大人]{おとな} which all means
young adult man/boy.

[少女]{しょうじょ}[成人]{せいじん} which means young adult woman/girl.

I hope this help answer your question. (^^)

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.
