We have investigated accretion of terrestrial planets from planetesimals around M dwarfs through N-body simulations including the effect of tidal interaction with disk gas. Because of low luminosity of M dwarfs, habitable zones around them are located near the disk inner edge. Planetary embryos undergo type-I migration and pile up near the disk inner edge. We found that after repeated close scatterings and occasional collisions, three or four planets eventually remain in stable orbits in their mean motion resonances. Furthermore, large amount of water-rich planetesimals rapidly migrate to the terrestrial planet regions from outside of the snow line, so that formed planets in these regions have much more water contents than those around solar-type stars.
