✅

Django’s manager will look for the same method on a QuerySet in case that method does not exists in the Manager. So it will call the .create() method [Django-doc] on the underlying QuerySet, which is implemented as [GitHub]:

def create(self, **kwargs):
    """
    Create a new object with the given kwargs, saving it to the database
    and returning the created object.
    """
    obj = self.model(**kwargs)
    self._for_write = True
    obj.save(force_insert=True, using=self.db)
    return obj

It will thus create a model object with the passed keywords, and save it with force_insert=True to slightly improve efficiency, and return the item created at the database.
