OK, they both have similar meanings related to obsessive, mad, unpredictable, irrational, violent, etc., behaviour -- from somewhat mild to more extreme.
"She is crazy about boy bands."
"He is a maniac for anything to do with motorbikes."
"He went crazy cleaning the house."
"She was working like a maniac."
"All of a sudden she just went crazy."
"He acted like a maniac for no apparent reason."
"He was driving like a maniac."
"She was running like crazy."
I would normally hear maniac used as a noun and crazy as an adjective but they can both appear as different parts of speech.
I would say "maniacal" for the adjective.
"All you could hear was her maniacal laughter."
But some people do use "maniac" (or "manic"). Also, I wouldn't use "crazy" as a noun, but others would.
"There was a bunch of crazies down the street."
So, that's how the two words relate to behaviour (of people and perhaps animals), generally.
Crazy has some additional meanings where you wouldn't use any form of maniac.
"When they found the boat the mast was at a crazy angle."
"The glaze on the pot had become crazy from years of use."
"He made a new path with crazy paving."
That's all the common uses I can think of. It was very interesting looking it up in detail. Let me know if anything isn't clear.

Maniac is a noun and means crazy person.
Crazy is an adjective.

I changed my previous answer. Crazy is an adjective not a verb. My mistake.
I don't agree with this:
- My teacher is maniac .
- maniac : a person wants that everything is perfect
You would say:
My teacher is a maniac.
But a maniac is not a person who wants everything perfect. Maniac can mean extremely obsessive but it implies irrationality.

@Igirisujin but I look it up the dictionary it tells me maniac can be adj as well not just noun. So does maniac still have one form?

Thanks, I have checked too and you're right. :)
And crazy can also be a noun and an adverb.
So the parts of speech don't help with your question.
There are a lot of meanings I didn't think of at first. In fact, as they apply to people they look very similar.
I will have to think about why they might be different.
Are you interested in all the meanings or just about people?
