In a way, it contradicts all the varieties of the March Hare, as the Hare is shown to be mad or even insane. The March Hare was said to be a "gentle Chain" which was not suited for battle, but very useful in its own ways. It has the ability to fake death which helps Reim escape his attackers and proved to be so realistic that his comrades believed he really was dead. In this Japanese manga, Pandora Hearts, the March Hare is a "Chain" whose "Contractor" is Reim Lunettes. But, as the story progresses, it is shown that Elliot is a lovable, amusing character who is really very sweet. He almost kills Alice with his long-barrelled gun before Blood stopped him. He isn't specifically crazy or mad, but he is a bit violent in the beginning. When called a rabbit, he often becomes insulted and rants about how his ears are 'just bigger than average'. He is basically human with the exception of two, brown rabbit ears. Elliot is Blood Dupre (the Hatter)'s right-hand man.

In this Japanese manga, Alice in the Country of Hearts, the March Hare is Elliot March. After the charge is read, the Hare addresses the court with an opening statement that more or less vindicates the accused, before turning his accusing eye upon the court itself for failing to serve tea with the evidence (the tarts). The major departure from Carroll's original here is that instead of appearing a jittery witness, the March Hare is cast as the Prosecutor.

The March Hare later appears at the trial for the Knave of Hearts, and for a final time as " Haigha" (which is pronounced to rhyme with "mayor", according to Carroll), the personal messenger to the White King in Through the Looking-Glass. Sir John Tenniel's illustration also shows him with straw on his head, a common way to depict madness in Victorian times. Like the character's friend, the Hatter, the March Hare feels compelled to always behave as though it is tea-time because the Hatter supposedly "murdered the time" whilst singing for the Queen of Hearts. It used to be incorrectly believed that these bouts were between males fighting for breeding supremacy.

Early in the season, unreceptive females often use their forelegs to repel overenthusiastic males. It is reported in The Annotated Alice by Martin Gardner that this proverb is based on popular belief about hares' behaviour at the beginning of the long breeding season, which lasts from February to September in Britain. " Mad as a March hare" is a common British English phrase, both now and in Carroll's time, and appears in John Heywood's collection of proverbs published in 1546.

"The March Hare will be much the most interesting, and perhaps as this is May it won't be raving mad – at least not so mad as it was in March." The March Hare (called Haigha in Through the Looking-Glass) is a character most famous for appearing in the tea party scene in Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
